About the organisation
ORGANISATIONAL PURPOSE
The Brotherhood of St. Laurence (BSL) employes over 1,400 staff and approximately 1,000 volunteers support our vision. Our work is focused in Melbourne and Victoria but branches out through our partners to every state and territory in Australia.
In Australia, poverty and disadvantage is experienced more in some communities than others. Our work focuses on places and groups of people experiencing hardship such as early school leavers and the unemployed. We create programs which prevent and alleviate poverty during four key life stages: childhood, adolescence, midlife and retirement.
One of our priorities is to work with state and federal governments and other community organisations to grow our successful programs. Our approach is informed by the best evidence, including the work of our own research and policy department.
