The objects of interPART include the following:

• To provide and to arrange, on a free or subsidised basis, professional and technical assistance to programs and projects for the most vulnerable groups within Australia and overseas, and to make donations of money and in kind to such groups.
  
• To develop, implement, monitor and evaluate programs and projects for the most vulnerable groups in partnership with local organisations.

A Committee of twelve persons is responsible for the management of the organisation. Office bearers include the Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer. The majority of the current membership of eighty six persons reside in South Australia although most Australian States are represented. Strong links are also maintained with overseas colleagues and associated organisations.

Sub-committees and reference groups are formed for a specific issue or task and are generally time-bound. Topics have included community-based development, peace and war, special events, fundraising and communications.
