Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to eliminate poverty by tackling inequality. Together we save and rebuild lives in disasters. We help people build better lives for themselves. We speak out on the big issues that keep people living in poverty, like inequality, discrimination against women, climate change and the injustices faced by First Peoples of Australia. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can live without poverty.

At Oxfam Australia, we believe all lives are equal and no-one should live in poverty. The inequality we see today is the result of systems that actively deny people their rights to learn, earn a decent living and live life to their fullest potential.
We work tirelessly every day to challenge the systems that keep people in poverty, while providing emergency aid where it’s needed most. That’s why we have the courage to act on injustice whenever and wherever it happens. We must hold decision makers to account, support people who are denied their rights and resource the activists demanding change.

A world where people have power over their own lives is possible – where wealth is not held in the hands of a few. And health, safety and being treated fairly and equally is a right, not a privilege.

Working with partners, allies and supporters, we are changing the world for the better every day to relieve and eliminate poverty.

At Oxfam Australia, we refuse to accept an unequal world, because a future without poverty is full of potential.

THE FUTURE IS EQUAL.
