About Us


In 1838, five Sisters of Charity from Ireland arrived in Australia. They were the first religious women to come to the Colony. Their mission is to bring to all people “the love, tenderness and concern of Christ for the poor and marginalised”.


The Sisters of Charity of Australia led by the Congregational Leader and her Council have many mission involvements. The Congregational Office is based in Bondi Junction in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.


The Congregation is seeking a qualified and experienced Health and Wellbeing Coordinator to support their Sisters. The Sisters live independently in the community or in residential care across NSW.
