Founded in 1866 by Saint Mary MacKillop and Fr Julian Tenison Woods, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart operates as a registered charity with central offices in Sydney, regional offices across Australia, and offices in New Zealand and Ireland, with a presence in some other countries.

The Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart (SOSJ) is a Catholic religious congregation, founded in South Australia in 1866, by Saint Mary MacKillop and Father Julian Tenison Woods. The Sisters, known as the Josephites, dedicate themselves to empowering others and bringing hope through their work in education and social services, especially in facing global and local crises with compassion.

Saint Mary MacKillop is celebrated as a prominent Australian educator and social reformer. Her dedication to aiding the poor inspired many women to join her efforts in establishing schools and welfare institutions across Australia and New Zealand. The stories of her life and the congregation's founders are preserved in museums located in North Sydney, Adelaide, East Melbourne, and Hobart, which also offer conferencing and accommodation services managed by the Sisters' Spirituality Ministry.

We prioritize the safety and well-being of all individuals, maintaining a zero-tolerance policy towards abuse or mistreatment. Applicants are encouraged to review our Adult and Child Safeguarding Commitment Statement, Safeguarding Code of Conduct, and Safeguarding Policy, available on our website under 'Safeguarding'.

We are dedicated to enhancing employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and welcome applications from candidates of Indigenous descent.
