The Salvation Army in Australia - Map Animation

Today, The Salvation Army’s red shield is one of the most recognisable symbols in Australia.

After starting in London in 1865, the Christian movement quickly spread around the world, reaching Australia in 1880 with its first unofficial meeting held in South Australia.

Soon The Salvation Army expanded to Victoria, then NSW, Tasmania, Queensland, Western Australia, the Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory.

Today, you will find The Salvation Army’s famous red shield at over 1,200 locations around Australia, offering places of Christian worship, providing support for those in need, caring for the aged and our well-known Salvos Stores.

From big cities to small country towns, The Salvation Army is there to offer hope and support to people when they need it most.
