To enable people in need to find pathways to a better life.

Mission Australia is a Christian community service organisation that has been transforming the lives of Australians in need for more than 150 years. Through ourr 550 community and employment services assist more than 300,000 Australians by providing a hand up, a way forward and hope for the future. Our foundations stretch back to 1859 when the Brisbane Town and Country Mission began caring for the colonial poor. Three years later, Benjamin Short set up the Sydney City Mission – “a purely unsectarian mission”. Then in 1867 the Adelaide City Mission (later Mission SA) came into being.
