About us

Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to eliminate the inequalities that keep people in poverty.

We work with people and communities experiencing poverty to protect and rebuild their lives in times of crisis, to find sustainable ways to build fair and independent lives and to have a say in the critical decisions that affect them, their families and communities.

We are an international confederation of 19 organisations (affiliates) working together with partners and local communities in the areas of humanitarian, development and campaigning, in more than 90 countries.

All our work is led by four core values: Accountability, Empowerment, Transparency and Respect.

As an organisation undertaking work both nationally and internationally and in humanitarian response, Oxfam takes its duty of care seriously to safeguard children, young people and adults and recognises that it must meet community expectations and the trust placed in its people to maintain the highest standards of conduct with children. Therefore, all positions within Oxfam are required to comply with the One Oxfam Child Safeguarding and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse policies and all staff sign the Oxfam Australia Child Safeguarding and One Oxfam Employee Codes of Conduct.
