Values
Altruism Australia holds to the values of authenticity, ethics, the importance of psychological awareness, respect and spirituality.
Authenticity: We apply this in respect to the highest of personal, professional and community transparency and integrity. An authentic life, person or community is not a place where dishonesty can survive. It's a place where integrity flourishes.
Ethics: The understanding that any group, community or nation, to be truly healthy, must adhere to commonly agreed yet profoundly true principles, such as the sanctity and dignity of life - all life.

Psychology: The acknowledgment that all people have intrinsic needs for their enjoyment of life and that these needs must be acknowledged, understood and met for there to be ‘psychological health’.
Respect: Simply to acknowledge the rights of all others to their opinions, needs and wants.
Spirituality: The understanding that each person, culture, society, state and nation has the right to their own beliefs, regardless of what they are, and these beliefs should be respected and honoured (with only one proviso - that these beliefs do not advocate, justify or ignore pain, harm and suffering to others). It is accepted in this that spirituality represents a reverence and sense of deep connectedness to something compassionate, peaceful and profoundly just beyond our human logical or intellectual understanding.
