Aid for Lebanon Appeal
All due and thanks to the Australian Government (Tax deductible facilities), The Australian Lebanese Christian Federation through its Aid for Lebanon Appeal Constitution, has provided a platform to our charitable associations members to relief hardship and suffering of the Lebanese people in our motherland through substantial aid to their home villages.

- To act as a vehicle for communication between Christian people in Australia and elsewhere in the world.
- To promote and encourage the spirit of Christian values between all people of Lebanese ancestry in Australia and between such people and their host countries and active participation in their progress and the furthering of the spirit of friendship and understanding on the national and international levels.
- To provide information services and other services relating especially to health, education, legal aid, immigration, cultural activities, sport and leisure, and problems affecting the aged.
- To engage in research projects aimed at identifying needs and actively participate in implementing improvements sought.
