As a proud member of the St Vincent de Paul Society, we are dedicated to offering over 200 services that provide assistance to those in need throughout Australia.

Our commitment to supporting constitutional recognition of Australia's First Nations peoples is deeply ingrained in our values. We believe in creating a more just and compassionate society for all. When families are struggling to make ends meet, Vinnies steps in to alleviate the pressure by providing practical support. By choosing to support us, you are giving Australians facing poverty a chance at a better life.

With a network of more than 45,000 members and volunteers, the St Vincent de Paul Society in Australia tirelessly works to combat social injustice and assist those in need.

Similarly, individuals like J, who experienced an injury at work, and D, who found herself unemployed for the first time, have found support and assistance through our services.
