For the same reasons that the Jesuits were founded originally, to spread the Catholic faith both through teaching Catholics and Mission work among non-Catholics.
from the Australian Jesuit web site:
Beginnings The first two Austrian Jesuits set foot in Adelaide in 1848, the first two Irish in Melbourne in 1865, and three more Austrians along with one of the first native-born
Australians to become Jesuit landed in Darwin in 1882. From 1848 to the present, over five hundred men have worked as Jesuit priests, brothers or scholastics
in Australia, New Zealand,
and on their Mission in India.
Three groups of Jesuits worked here as separate 'Missions' -- the Austrians in South Australia, and later on the Aboriginal Mission in the North, and the Irish in the eastern Colonies -- until 1901, when all three groups were merged to form the Australian Mission.
