CARE Australia

CARE Australia supports women around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice. We work with local communities to provide women with equal opportunities to earn an income, gain access to their fair share of resources, participate in decisions that affect their lives, and lead their communities through the increasing impacts of climate disasters and other crises.

CARE Australia is a member of the global CARE Confederation, working with communities all over the world. With a vast majority of staff local to the country where they work, supporting a strong network of local partners, we have deep connections and impact in more than 100 countries.

As CARE Australia, we have built strong, long-term relationships with partners who work in their own communities in the South-East Asia and Pacific regions and we know that this is where we can be most effective. We also respond to humanitarian crises outside this region when we are well-placed to do so.

CARE has been committed to helping the world’s most vulnerable people since the first CARE packages were sent to the survivors of World War II in 1945. We seek to end extreme poverty for all who experience it. We provide assistance to those in poverty regardless of race, religion or ethnicity.
