The Salvation Army has been in Australia for over 130 years. Currently we have more than 8,500 active officers and staff delivering in excess of 1000 specifically designed social programs across Australia.

We help more than 1 million Australians every year – that's one person every 30 seconds!

Founded on faith

The Salvation Army is a Christian movement dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus. We’re compelled to help, because Jesus first helped us. We believe, because Jesus first believed in us. We act, because Jesus first acted for us. We care, because Jesus first cared for us. We seek to transform, because Jesus first transformed us.

Who We Are

Our support services have been united in mission and purpose since our humble beginnings 150 years ago. And though the emphasis may change from year to year, day to day, crisis to crisis, our heritage guides us. We are able to constantly adapt in response to the needs of today in the knowledge that in helping without discrimination, we’re continuing a mission and purpose of assisting those most in need.

We stand proud as one organisation united in values. And with our congregations empowering our churches to thrive, and the generosity of individuals, businesses and communities allowing our support services to serve those in need, we’re honouring our past and enlightening our future.

You can find The Salvation Army in city streets, on rural farms and in suburban centres. Our people are on the ground day and night, bringing hope to those who need it most.
