The St Vincent de Paul Society in Australia operates as a federation which includes a National Council, six State Councils and two Territory Councils. Each jurisdiction operates its own website. The National Council operates the landing page and those websites that directly relate to the National Council and to the National Redress Scheme Company.

When you leave the landing page you will be directed to one of nine different websites. Each website has its own legal statements, terms of use, privacy policy and safeguarding policy. Some copyright ownership sits with the relevant jurisdiction.
