Already planning to travel? Meet your sponsored child!

You've met your sponsored child through letters and photographs; now meet them in person. Visiting your sponsored child is an exciting opportunity for you to get to know each other, to strengthen your friendship and create incredible memories. 

A Compassion Visit is an experience that allows you to meet your sponsored child and their caregiver as part of your personal travel plans. The visit will be facilitated by a local Compassion-certified host. During the day, you may have the opportunity to visit your sponsored child’s Compassion centre and home, share a meal or do an activity together. 

We ask that all visits are requested with Compassion Australia least four months prior to your preferred visit date, to honour the local staff and ensure a smooth preparation experience. Please be aware that visits are a one-day experience and all other travel plans, including flights and accommodation, must be organised independently.

Request to visit

If you have questions about organising a visit, please contact our Supporter Engagement Centre at compassion@compassion.com.au on 1300 22 44 53 or speak with your Church Partnership Manager.
