Caritas Oceania consists of seven member organisations from across the Pacific Islands, Australia and New Zealand.

[5][6][7] In February 2021, Caritas Oceania president Sr Senolita Vakata passed away, and was replaced in March by Cardinal Soane Patita Paini Mafi of Tonga.

[9][10] In July 2022, Caritas Oceania sent a delegate to the United Nations Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Portugal.

[11] In 2024 Caritas Oceania authored a research report entitled Weathering the Storm: Addressing Debt and Climate Vulnerability in the Pacific.

[13] Caritas Oceania made three key recommendations in the report: that climate finance to the Pacific should be significantly increased; that it should occur through UN-administered grants rather than loans; and that global financial systems should be improved to restructure or cancel unsustainable and illegitimate sovereign debts tied to climate finance.
