Our Partners

Oxfam’s work is only possible because of the people we work with. Tackling the inequalities that fuel poverty means collaborating with partners and affiliates all over the world to create change that lasts.

Project partners

When it comes to addressing poverty, it’s the communities experiencing it who are best placed to lead on solutions.

We work with hundreds of partners; small and large organisations that work locally to deliver programs that help to save lives, and tackle poverty and injustice in practical and innovative ways.

We form partnerships with a diverse range of organisations including national and international NGOs, universities and think tanks, grassroots women's organisations and youth cooperatives, climate alliances and organisations of peoples with disabilities.

By developing relationships with organisations, coalitions and movements that share our values, we aim to address the root causes of inequality to develop lasting solutions to poverty.

How we work

Partner-led approach

Breaking the Silence

Oxfam and the Kimberley Aboriginal Women’s Council are working together to promote gender equality for women and girls in the Kimberly region. In 2023, the Council hosted a roundtable to bring together women like Katina from across the Kimberly region to share stories, experiences and plans for the future.

Alliances

Oxfam Australia works in alliance with other like-minded organisations and activists to build power, expand our reach and amplify our messages. Our roles in alliances range from acting as host through to sharing resources and participating in joint activities. By working with others, our campaigns for justice have greater impact.

Safer World for All

Oxfam Australia is proud to be an active member of the Safer World for All campaign: a joint initiative of Micah Australia, The Australian Council for International Development (ACFID), and Global Citizen.

Safer World for All is a cross-partisan Australian campaign building broad public and political support for smart, effective Australian aid. It is made up of Australians from every walk of life, including community leaders, diaspora groups, security experts, business voices, people of faith and development practitioners, united in a call for a safer world for all.

Everyone should have the chance to live free from hunger, conflict and fear, and to build a better future for their families and communities. Through the Safer World for All campaign, we engage political leaders, host community forums, contribute to public debate and mobilise Australians who want their country to play a constructive role in our region and the world.

The campaign calls for investment in aid to be restored to 1% of the Federal budget. Just $1 in every $100 can stop today’s risks from becoming tomorrow’s catastrophes.
