Australian Red Cross

Melbourne, Victoria, 3051 Australia

Mission Statement

Our mission is to be a leading humanitarian organisation in Australia, improving the lives of vulnerable people through the programs we deliver and the promotion of humanitarian laws and values. Our vision is to improve the lives of vulnerable people in Australia and internationally by mobilising the power of humanity.

About This Cause

We’re improving the lives of vulnerable people through mobilising the power of humanity. We save lives and support people before and after disasters strike. We work to alleviate suffering during wars and conflict and promote humanitarian laws and values. We advocate based on direct experience and evidence, and empower people to speak out and take action to improve their lives. We are bound by our Fundamental Principles of Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary service, Unity and Universality. We are a voice for humanity. Our communications are guided by our principles so that we keep the confidence of all. This supports our ability, and that of the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement, to continue to alleviate suffering wherever it may be found, in Australia or overseas. And we work with others to create an Australia that is caring, welcoming and allows everyone to thrive—even in the toughest of times.
