One of the areas Jesuit Social Services Australia works in is building capacity among Aboriginal peoples to advocate for their own needs, and be heard

The Jesuit social ministry is active in many of the countries in Asia Pacific, although the organisations vary in terms of scope and scale. Some, such as Jesuit Social Services in Australia, are well established and offer a wide range of services for various groups in need. Many others are small and focus on specific groups of vulnerable people such as prisoners or people with disabilities. Others such as the Reflection Centre in Cambodia promote peace and inter-religious dialogue, in addition to advocating for the abolishment of land mines.
