St. Joseph’s Camperdown is a Catholic Church and parish community located just 4km outside Sydney’s central business district in the inner west suburb of Camperdown. Erected and established in 1889, it remains one of the oldest and historical Churches in Sydney today.

St. Joseph’s Camperdown attracts many parishioners and visitors each year and is recently under the pastoral care of the Order of the Ministers of the Infirm (Camillians) of the Philippine Province.
