Anglicare Australia is a peak social advocacy organisation that brings together over 40 individual member agencies from around Australia. We are joined by our associate members in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Singapore. Each of these members is an independent organisation choosing to come together as a part of the national network matching local presence with national strengths. The network provids services in over 50 different areas with growing and emerging services including community education, suicide prevention programs, and environmental sustainability programs. Across the network in Australia, 13,769 staff and 7,403 volunteers support 421,961 clients. Working together we are better able to understand the factors that contribute to deprivation and disadvantage; develop best practice principles in supporting individuals and families to overcome these barriers; and to help the community understand that, without its support, these issues will remain intractable. Anglicare Australia advocates at a national level on behalf of those individuals and families who access the services provided by the network members in a bid to change the system for the better and to help politicians understand that without this change, life for people living on the edge of our society may never improve. From Groote Eylandt, Northern Territory to Kingston, Tasmania, from Bondi to Bunbury, Anglicare member agencies are committed to caring for people in need and seeking social justice for all.
