Why do we exist ?
Oxfam Australia is an Australian, independent, not-for-profit, secular, community-based aid and development organisation. We aim to increase the number of people who have a sustainable livelihood, access to social services, an effective voice in decisions, safety from conflict and disaster, and equal rights and status.
What do we do ?
We work with communities around the world for solutions to poverty and social injustice. This includes supporting development projects around the world, responding to emergencies, campaigning for a more just world, and involving the Australian community through events.
What opportunities do we have for young people ?
Oxfam Australia manages the Oxfam International Youth Parliament (OIYP). OIYP is an initiative of Oxfam International, and is a network of young leaders in 92 countries working for positive and lasting change in their communities. The OIYP website is
http://www.iyp.oxfam.org/. We will soon be launching a youth campaigns network in Victoria. We also organise events and campaigns that are suitable for involvement by people of many ages, including young people.
