Oxfam Australia to move to new home
Oxfam Australia is excited to announce it is moving to a new home in West Melbourne.
Chief Executive Lyn Morgain said the move to 355-358 William Street would represent an exciting new chapter in the Oxfam Australia story.
“While we are leaving behind 14 years of great memories of our green building in Carlton, now is a time for renewal,” Ms Morgain said.
“Following significant changes to our organisation – as well as to the culture of work due to COVID-19 – it makes sense that our new work home supports our new needs. We are confident this two-storey premises will do just that, and we will ensure we put our stamp on it, as we have our Leicester Street building.”
Charity said donors’ personal information was exposed
Oxfam Australia has confirmed that it has suffered a data breach after a database containing supporters’ information was “unlawfully accessed”.
In a statement, the charity said that an external party gained access to the database on January 20, 2021.
Oxfam Australia said it became aware of the breach seven days later and engaged “industry-leading forensic IT experts” to conduct an investigation.
Supporter information
The database included information about supporters who may have signed a petition, taken part in a campaign, or made donations or purchases through shops, Oxfam Australia said.
This data includes names, addresses, dates of birth, emails, phone numbers, gender, and in some cases donation history.
