Project Compassion
Rosemary Taylor
Diocesan Director
Our Mission
Project Compassion is Caritas Australia’s annual Lenten fundraising appeal – one of the largest in the country. For over 60 years, it has brought together schools, parishes, communities and individuals to reflect, pray and take action, helping to create a more just world for all.
Your gifts are the lifeblood of our humanitarian work. Because of your generous support to our Project Compassion appeal during lent, your committed monthly gift giving, and your spontaneous generosity to our Emergency Appeals and other gift-giving programs, together we strive for justice and dignity.
This year
This Lent, you’re invited to join thousands across the country as we stand together in hope and take action for a more just world.
Your support through Project Compassion helps transform lives – bringing clean water, education, healthcare and opportunities to communities facing poverty and injustice.
Get involved by hosting a Lent Event, joining the Long Walk for Water challenge or taking on The BIG Water Walk with your school.
How will you Unite Against Poverty in 2026?
