Frequently asked questions

The Salvation Army Australia is a Christian movement dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus. We share the love of Jesus by caring for people, creating faith pathways, building healthy communities and working for justice.

We acknowledge First Nations peoples as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waterways of Australia that we now share. We acknowledge their unique cultural and spiritual connections to the lands and waters, honouring their wisdom, strength and resilience as the world’s oldest living cultures. We pay respects to the Elders who play a vital role in fostering a fair and just society for all Australians. Learn about our commitment to reconciliation.
