Founded in 1866 by Saint Mary MacKillop and Fr Julian Tenison Woods, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart operates as a registered charity with central offices in Sydney, regional offices across Australia and offices in New Zealand and Ireland and a presence in some other countries.

The local communities of the sisters living in New South Wales form the NSW Region which is the largest region in the Congregation. In March 2013, the sisters of the Goulburn Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph celebrated fusion with the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart and in 2014 the Perthville Congregation followed. The sisters live in all parts of NSW and are involved in a variety of ministries. The Regional Office is in Croydon.
