THE BIG WINS OF 2022-2023

Around the world, we’re united in unaccepting inequality.

With your incredible support, we’re tackling poverty — by changing minds, systems and lives to make every day more equal.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers should be aware that this microsite may contain images or names of people who have since passed away.

Oxfam Australia acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the original custodians of the land, and respects the rights that they hold as Traditional Custodians. We also recognise the dispossession of the land and its ongoing effects on First Nations Peoples today.

Together, we had big wins!
