“People who care helping people in need"

1) ALL PEOPLES
The Australian Mercy Standard is that all ethnicities and languages are significant and constructive because they enhance the well-being of individuals, families, and communities.

2) INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES and COMMUNITIES
The Australian Mercy Standard is that every individual is unique and socialised into a family where parents, not political structures, have the ultimate say regarding their children until maturity. Australian Mercy’s time, money, and effort is prioritised to families and communities.

3) SERVANT LEADERSHIP
The Australian Mercy Standard of servant leadership is to lead by example, empowering others to achieve their goals and honour the leadership rights and abilities of men and women, regardless of educational or social status.

4) WE ARE CHRISTIAN
The Australian Mercy Standard is to honour God practically and spiritually, respecting and working with all people because, “If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself,’ you are doing right. But if you show favouritism, you sin…” James 2:8-9

5) RELATIONSHIPS AND TEAMWORK
The Australian Mercy Standard of relationships and teamwork includes open communication and mutual support as teamwork and a shared purpose contributes to greater accountability, motivation, and ownership of the vision and tasks.

6) INTEGRITY
The Australian Mercy Standard of integrity includes transparency, humility, and acknowledging failure and shortcomings – where words fully align with deeds.

7) VOLUNTEERISM
The Australian Mercy Standard of volunteerism is community members contributing to their own sustainable and reproducible solutions, not dependent on outside resources.
