About me: Austcare's mission is to work with people affected by conflict and natural disasters to build human security.
Austcare is a wholly Australian-based, independent, specialist humanitarian aid and development organisation that is non-profit, non-sectarian and non-political. Since our inception in 1967 we have made measurable and sustainable improvements to the lives of people who have been affected by disaster, conflict or poverty in more than 30 countries.
Austcare supports basic human security and empowers local communities to escape poverty. We specialise in emergency response and preparedness; mine action; the protection of the rights of refugees and internally displaced people; sustainable livelihood recovery; and the prevention of future crises, including peacebuilding.
Austcare partners with local communities and our work is designed to ensure that the results continue long after the projects are completed, ensuring your donations have lasting effects. We implement sustainable development practices to ensure that the environment and resources are preserved for the next generation.
