“I was able to see the work on the field. We watched child development centres operating and visited the homes of children who had discovered hope in the face of intolerable hardship. It helped me to better understand the profound importance of our work. The bonus is that I collaborate with talented people. I count it a wonderful privilege to work for Compassion Australia.”

“Since I started working at Compassion six years ago I have been able to develop my skills and expertise. Working remotely can be challenging but knowing I have the support of my manager and colleagues really makes a difference. Working for Compassion is like working with a family and everyday you get to come to a workplace that you know is making a difference in the lives of children around the world.”
SARAH-JANE VAN EEDEN
“Moving from Korea to Australia was a big decision for me, shifting from my career as a banker to a Relationship Manager at Compassion. However, it’s been a life-changing experience. It brings me great joy every day to see children released from poverty in Jesus’ name. It was a delight to discover that Compassion began its ministry in Korea. Because of this, I consider it a privilege to introduce Compassion to Korean churches in Sydney.”
