Unaccept Inequality
Support an equal future without poverty
At Oxfam Australia, we believe small actions matter and can lead to an equal future for everyone. Rejecting unequal systems like unfair tax laws, tackling climate destruction like Pacific islands sinking, and standing in solidarity with workers to ensure they are paid a fair wage are just a few things we can do.
For far too long, inequality has increased, leading to poverty and injustice. It’s time to do more — for ourselves, for each other and for future generations.
Our collective efforts have the power to dismantle systemic inequality, empower individuals and ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to reach their full potential. Let’s pave the way for a radically better world, leaving inequality, poverty and injustice behind.
We know that times are tough, and people are looking for solutions beyond government promises. That’s why we’re here — to provide a platform where you can actively make a difference. Our community of like-minded people is committed to driving change, supporting each other and transforming society – together.
Join us today and be a part of a movement that matters. Together, let’s shape a better future — one that embraces equality, sustainability and compassion.
Every day is an opportunity to create change, to build an equal future. And it starts with us. Join us to create an equal world.
In the face of inequality, we have to decide: be indifferent or be active, be courageous or be complacent.
When we refuse to accept the unfairness that exists in our society, we have the power to break down rigged systems that favour a few, while leaving many behind.
When we refuse to accept the injustices faced by the First Peoples of Australia and advocate for equality, we amplify and honour Indigenous voices, fostering an inclusive society that respects and celebrates heritage and cultural richness.
When we refuse to be indifferent and decide to act, support and walk with people who need us, we build a society that is caring and responsive.
Take action, however small, every day to make our world more equal.
Throughout history, we’ve seen that people who have dared to imagine a better future have changed the course of humanity.
By rejecting industries that profit from the exploitation of people and land, we disrupt the cycle of injustice and work towards a fairer economy. An economy that uplifts everyone, respecting their livelihoods and dignity.
Creating an equal future is a challenge that requires time and effort. Let’s embrace hope and collective strength, and join together on a journey towards fairness and equality.

How does Oxfam Australia select projects?
Our strategic plan contains six goals to change the world: The right to be heard; Gender justice, Saving lives, now and in the future; Sustainable food; Fair sharing of natural resources; and Finance for development.
Our operational plans are based on these goals, and we undertake regional and country level planning to determine projects that will help us to achieve these goals. We take into account issues such as the environment, women, culture, community power structures, the local economy, existing resources and relationships that affect poverty, and we identify underlying vulnerability as well as potential risks.
We work with local partner organisations and communities as well as key staff within the organisation to identify the best way of delivering each project so that we achieve the maximum impact.
You can support a specific project or several development projects through our monthly giving programs.
