Our people are at the centre of everything we do. Our dedicated staff, together with thousands of supporters and volunteers, represent a vast team of people who are determined to make a difference.

Whether they are social workers, youth workers, counsellors, childcare workers, teachers, trainers, employment consultants, fundraisers or researchers - collectively they make a difference to hundreds of thousands of lives and each plays their own special part, applying their unique skills to pursue a common goal of ending poverty and ensuring people and communities in need can thrive.

On the frontline, our support service staff walk alongside ordinary people struggling with generational disadvantage and complex challenges that limit their independence. They offer support in a range of environments.

Others work from service hubs that provide a range of programs to disadvantaged communities, while many more support job seekers from offices in our cities, towns and rural areas.

Behind the scenes, supporting our frontline staff, is a team ensuring the organisation’s efficiency. They look after our finances, property, vehicles and IT needs, and also help raise vital funds.

Together, we stand with every one in need until they can stand for themselves.
