Organisation Summary

World Vision Australia is the country’s largest international non-governmental organisation dedicated to tackling poverty and injustice, with a strong focus on improving the lives of vulnerable children. Established in 1966 as part of the global World Vision Partnership, the organisation operates in nearly 100 countries and partners with communities to create sustainable, long-term change. Guided by Christian values, World Vision works inclusively with people of all faiths and cultures.

Its mission is to help children grow up healthy, safe, and equipped with the skills to shape their futures. World Vision Australia addresses three key areas: child well-being, climate resilience, and support for First Nations communities. Globally, it provides emergency relief during crises, often being among the first responders, and is the largest non-government provider of clean water in developing nations.

The organisation also advocates for systemic change through policy engagement and public awareness campaigns. Programs include child sponsorship, education, health initiatives, and disaster recovery. In Australia, World Vision partners with Indigenous communities to promote self-determined development.

With decades of experience and research-driven approaches, World Vision Australia combines humanitarian relief with advocacy and development strategies to transform lives for generations. Supported by Australians’ generosity, it continues to lead efforts to end extreme poverty and create a world where every child can thrive.
