HOPE worldwide (Australia) is a Christian non-government organisation committed to bringing hope and changing the lives of those in need.

HOPE worldwide (Australia) has the vision of implementing the ministry of Jesus in serving the poor. It was founded in 1993 by members of the International Churches of Christ, who continue to support health and education programs in Papua New Guinea. These programs are run in collaboration with our partner organisation HOPE worldwide (PNG).

HOPE worldwide (Australia) continues to support our network of members globally as well as respond to global disasters through our Global Disaster Response team, based in Indonesia.

In 2014 local programs were set up in Melbourne and other cities through our partnership with the Churches of Christ around Australia, 'HOPE reps' were designated to oversee these programs. The Country Director, Dr Mark Timlin is based in Melbourne and works alongside the HOPE Board to guide the direction of the organisation.

HOPE worldwide (Australia) is a member organisation with HOPE worldwide ltd. based in Philadelphia, USA, and other HOPE worldwide entities in over 60 countries. HOPE worldwide values its relationship with the International Churches of Christ congregations, who support our work financially and volunteer their time and service.

HOPE Volunteer Corps

As part of providing volunteer opportunities and assisting in overseas humanitarian needs, HOPE worldwide (Australia) runs an annual Volunteer Corps. In the past this has just been to PNG, but through our affiliate organisations we are extending this to other countries in the Asia Pacific as well as across the globe.
