St. Vincent de Paul Society of Australia is a lay Catholic organization, and an extension of the mission of St. Vincent de Paul - that is, helping the destitute, elderly, and infirm. It was founded in 1854 by Fr. Gerald Ward as an attempt to help the rapidly growing immigrant population of Australia, who were often poor.
The Society is composed of both lay and ordained members who do charity work throughout the country.
