About
The UnitingCare network is one of the largest networks of social services providers in Australia, supporting 1.4 million people every year across urban, rural and remote communities and powered by over 50,000 staff and 30,000 volunteers.
The UnitingCare network has been there for all Australians over the past 100 years. Together we believe that everyone should live life to its fullest and with dignity, no matter their circumstances. We’re advocates for social justice and we work across party lines to give a voice to the most vulnerable in our community. We’re innovative, ambitious and passionate about inspiring a better world.
Advocacy
We maintain bipartisan working relationships across all political parties and with key politicians, public servants and thought leaders at the national level.
The Cost of Living
Today, one in four Australians report difficulties in getting by on their current income as we live through the largest cost-of-living increase since the year 2000. Australians are facing difficult choices between paying their mortgages, food and electricity bills, or finding the means to cover medical, childcare, fuel costs. More people are relying on emergency relief and poverty-related services to survive each day, as financial hardship impacts a broader cross-section of the population.
