Act for Peace

For more than 70 years, Act for Peace has brought people together to create a more just and peaceful world. As the international humanitarian agency of the National Council of Churches in Australia we believe in a world where everyone belongs, and that to get there, we must work together. It’s both the right thing to do, and the only thing that will work.

Founded by the Australian churches in 1948, Act for Peace is a diverse collection of people, united by the belief that all people are created equal, and we should love our neighbours as ourselves.

Yet, right now, we live in a world of ‘us’ and ‘them’. It means that every day, more of us are forced from our homes by conflict and disaster.

Together, we’re working to reduce displacement and create safety, dignity and belonging for uprooted people.

We’re doing this by backing displaced people through local partnerships and initiatives, building unity and transforming the system.
