Edmund Rice Centre
The Edmund Rice Centre is an advocacy and research organisation working with and for Indigenous Australians, refugees and people seeking asylum and Pacific Island communities affected by climate change - the first Australians, the last to arrive and the next to come.
We work to promote human rights, social justice and eco-justice for all people in our society.
The Edmund Rice Centre conducts a number of programs with four distinct characteristics - research, community education, advocacy and partnerships.
In each of our program areas we:
- Raise awareness about the causes of poverty and injustice and the need for human rights to be respected and advanced
- Advocate for the needs of groups who are systematically excluded locally and globally
- Promote social action that engages people in the work for social change
