About Us

At the heart of the St Vincent de Paul Society is a profound sense of respect for the people we serve and a desire to learn from them. No work of charity is foreign to us. No person is alien to us.

An Australia transformed by compassion and built on justice. The Society advocates on several pressing social justice issues such as homelessness, poverty and asylum seekers.

We have identified seven key values to which we are aligned and they include commitment, compassion, respect, integrity, empathy, advocacy and courage. 

• Commitment – Loyalty in service to our mission, vision and values.
• Compassion – Welcoming and serving all with understanding and without Judgement.
• Respect – Service to all regardless of creed, ethnic or social background, health, gender or political opinions.
• Integrity – promoting, maintaining and adhering to our mission, vision and values.
• Empathy – Establishing relationships based on respect, trust, friendship and perception.
• Advocacy – Working to transform the causes of poverty and challenging the causes of human injustice.
• Courage – Encouraging spiritual growth, welcoming innovation and giving hope for the future.
