“I loved the fact that Mission Australia saw the project for what it was and knew it would work”...
More than 3000 staff and 1000 volunteers make up the heart and soul of Mission Australia. We are united in our desire to see a fairer Australia and to help those in need find pathways to a better life. Together we embrace Mission Australia's values of respect, integrity, compassion, perseverance and celebration.
Our religious and ethnic backgrounds are many and varied. Our staff includes social workers, youth workers, psychologists, counsellors, community development workers, teachers, allied health workers, trainers, managers, administrators, entrepreneurs and fundraisers.
Mission Australia is an empowering and compassionate community service organisation. We have been helping to transform the lives of Australians in need for almost 150 years.
Arising historically from various City Missions, including Sydney City Mission, our founding purpose is to meet human need and to give expression to the love of God.
We believe in helping Australians in need get back on their feet through Employment, Training, Housing, Family, Youth and Community Services. We are committed to eliminating disadvantage and creating a fairer Australia.
