Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF)

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international and independent medical humanitarian organisation delivering emergency medical aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters, and exclusion from healthcare. We offer assistance based on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.

Operating programs in around 70 countries, MSF offers assistance based on our evaluation of medical needs, independent of political, economic or religious interests. Our independence is rooted in our funding; over 90 per cent comes from individual private donors giving small amounts. We strive to freely evaluate needs, access populations without restriction, and to directly deliver the aid we provide.

MSF is a self-governed, worldwide movement of 25 associations, including one in Australia.  MSF Australia is based in Sydney and we recruit field staff from Australia and New Zealand.
