Mission Australia's integrated services work together to reduce homelessness and strengthen communities across Australia, by helping people secure jobs, receive an education, find housing and develop important life skills. Early intervention and prevention is at the heart of our work. We begin by taking a close look at the root causes of a person’s predicament, and strive to stop problems from spiralling out of control and affecting other areas of their life. By addressing issues early, we have the best chance of breaking the cycle of disadvantage. Our approach is strengthened by 155 years of real-world experience and knowledge.
