The Salvation Army Australia is a Christian movement dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus while supporting Australians experiencing hardship and injustice. Through its social services and community programs, the organisation provides practical assistance and works to create lasting change. Its support includes help with alcohol and other drugs, family and domestic violence, homelessness, financial difficulties and other needs.

Services may include emergency relief, housing assistance and community-based care. The Salvation Army also shares information about poverty in Australia and advocates for evidence-based solutions, justice and healthier communities. Individuals can seek help through local services, while supporters can contribute through donations, regular giving or gifts in a Will; eligible gifts of $2 or more to its social work are tax deductible.

Rooted in Christian faith, the organisation cares for people, creates faith pathways and works for justice. It acknowledges First Nations peoples as Traditional Owners and is committed to reconciliation, inclusion, and the safety and wellbeing of people of all ages, especially children
