Vinnies

Welcome to Vinnies, located at 1057 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud, Australia. As an establishment, point of interest, and store, Vinnies is more than just a place to shop. We are part of the St Vincent de Paul Society, an organization that offers over 200 services to help those in need.

At Vinnies, we believe in supporting constitutional recognition of Australia’s First Nations peoples. With a longstanding commitment to social justice, we strive to assist individuals and families who are struggling to cover the basics. By providing practical support, we aim to ease the pressure and give Australians facing poverty another choice.

With a network of over 45,000 members and volunteers, the St Vincent de Paul Society in Australia works tirelessly to combat social injustice and assist those in need. Our dedication extends internationally, as we operate in 153 countries with over 800,000 members.

Our mission, vision, and values are at the core of everything we do. We are committed to serving all individuals with understanding and without judgment, regardless of their creed, ethnic or social background, health, gender, or political opinions. By establishing relationships based on respect, trust, friendship, and perception, we strive to make a lasting impact.

At Vinnies, we also participate in the Australia Government's School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI), showcasing our commitment to education and empowerment. We are always looking for motivated individuals to join us in our programs, events, and services nationwide. Together, we can make a difference.

By actively and passionately speaking out against the causes of poverty and inequality, we aim to create a more just and compassionate society. Our success stories speak for themselves. Samantha, with the help of Vinnies, has turned her life around, ensuring a bright future for herself and her children. J, who was injured and retrenched, found support and hope through our services. D, who experienced unemployment for the first time, received the assistance she needed to navigate this new chapter in her life.

As a lay Catholic organization, we are dedicated to promoting a more inclusive and understanding society. We acknowledge that we are on Aboriginal land and pay our respects to all traditional custodians. This website may contain images of deceased members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, which are used with the utmost respect and appreciation.

The St Vincent de Paul Society National Council of Australia Inc. is endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as a Deductible Gift Recipient. With your support, together we can transform lives and create lasting change. Join us at Vinnies and be part of a compassionate community.
