Social Outreach and Advocacy

We have a long history of working with and helping people within the community.

We are committed to providing significant care and relief for people experiencing disadvantage throughout Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region, particularly in areas with identified gaps in service provision.

Our Social Outreach and Advocacy (SOA) services are an expression of our commitment to helping those in need. We deliver services developed specifically for people who are experiencing disadvantage as a result of factors such as poverty, prejudice and stigma, disability, lack of access, powerlessness or marginalisation, which may be excluding them from living a full and rich life. The objective of SOA is to improve health and/or wellbeing. 

We work alongside the people we serve to provide assistance that effectively focuses on the underlying causes of poor health and well being. Using our credibility, experience and expertise we strive to influence decision-makers for improvements. Through our focus on advocacy we draw attention to  issues adversely impacting on outcomes for people experiencing disadvantage.
