It is one of a confederation of twelve national members of CARE International, forming one of the world’s largest international emergency aid and development assistance organisations.
CARE Australia’s projects are funded primarily through community donation, which has secured additional support from institutional partners such as the Australian government, European Union and the World Health Organisation. In 2008, 88 per cent of CARE Australia’s total revenue went into overseas projects.
