Our approach
Oxfam Australia works as part of a global confederation led by Oxfam International, with 21 members and affiliates. This allows us to combine resources, respond quickly to emergencies and leverage strengths and expertise to achieve our shared vision of a world without poverty.
We strive tirelessly every day to deliver life-saving humanitarian relief, run long-term anti-poverty projects and create campaigns to bring about a future where everyone has an equal opportunity to learn, earn a decent living and live life to their fullest potential.
We work alongside communities, local partner organisations and a global network of supporters to tackle the root causes of poverty and create a more equal world.
Here’s what that looks like.
