Mission Australia

Mission Australia regularly publishes snapshots, advocacy papers and major reports on key social issues, including: families and children, homelessness, youth, social inclusion, poverty, employment, and community building.

Mission Australia, The Smith Family and the Social Policy Research Centre (University of NSW) share a common interest in social policy issues. We cooperate with each other on research projects and policy development.

Every year we present a regular series of seminars on topics of common interest. These seminars, held in Sydney, are open to the public and are free of charge.

Our next seminar is on the 28th of May and deals with Housing: affordability, stability and solutions. For more information email lunaua@missionaustralia.com.au

Mission Australia Employment Services documents and how-to guides providing information for both employers and job seekers.

Our Corporate and Community Partnerships team produces a regular newsletter called Partnerships in Action which features news and information about our partners, employee engagement activities and personal and family philanthropy.

Each year, Mission Australia conducts a national survey of young Australians which uncovers the issues that concern them, who they admire and where they turn to for advice and support.

This years survey - the sixth - is the biggest yet with 29,000 respondents, between ages 11-24, taking part in every state and territory around the country.

Mission Australias survey is a valuable snapshot into the minds of young Australians and provides a wealth of important information for anyone interested in their wellbeing.

If you would like a hard copy of the survey please contact Kathryn Di Nicola on (02) 9219 2022 or at dinicolak@missionaustralia.com.au.
