About Vinnies NT
OUR ORGANISATION
The St Vincent de Paul Society is an international, voluntary, Catholic organisation dedicated to tackling poverty and disadvantage by providing assistance to the poor. Founded in France by a group of young men in 1833, the principal founder was Blessed Frederic Ozanam. Today the Society has more than 950,000 members in 150 countries. The first Australian Conference was established in Melbourne in 1854. The first
Northern Territory Conference, St Mary’s Star of the Sea Conference Darwin, was launched in September 1949 and is still assisting Territorians today.

Each year, we publish an Annual Impact Report about our services and efforts to ensure that we are meeting the highest standards of Program Services.
Policies and procedures
Our high quality services are supported by a range of policies, procedures and standards that staff and volunteers must adhere to. We can discuss any specific policies with you on request.
If you suspect an employee of misconduct, we offer a safe, secure and confidential way to report the matter. Read our policies to find out more.
Accreditation
Accreditation is an important way that we can demonstrate that our services are meeting the highest standards. Accreditations ensure quality of care, patient safety, demonstrated accountability, gaining and keeping clients, and meeting regulatory requirements. At St Vincent de Paul Society NT, Accreditation follows a cycle of self-assessment, external review by an approved external accreditation body, and monitoring and continuous improvement.
