About Us

The Catholic Development Fund (CDF) Perth has been faithfully serving the Catholic community since its establishment in December 1974. As the interest-bearing capital fund conducted by the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth, the CDF was created to help Church organizations make the most of their financial resources, enabling growth and sustainability.

Our mission is to support the Church in Western Australia by providing loans for the development of new facilities or the refurbishment of existing buildings for education, worship, and other essential needs of the Church. Through these services, we play an integral role in fostering the ongoing work of the Church in its mission to serve the community.

More than just a financial institution, CDF Perth is committed to offering ethical, faith-driven financial services. We partner with parishes, schools, and other Catholic organizations to ensure their financial stewardship is both effective and aligned with the values of the Church.

By investing in CDF Perth,  also directly contribute to the growth and mission of the Catholic Church across Western Australia. Whether you’re looking to borrow, invest, or support the Church’s mission, the Catholic Development Fund is here to guide you every step of the way.
