United Way Australia

Our Vision is that every Australian community thrives. Our Purpose is to unite community, business, philanthropy, government, and social purpose organisations in collaborative action to improve education, employment, health and housing outcomes in communities experiencing disadvantage. We Believe that the postcode people are born in should not determine their destiny, that the causes of entrenched community disadvantage in Australia are complex and that no single organisation can solve these issues alone. We need to work together to achieve change. What We Do We understand local issues through community conversations, correlating data, mapping services and identifying gaps. We mobilise resources, securing the long-term investment of funds, skills and networks to tackle complex social issues. We act in partnership with others to strengthen communities. We influence systems change by sharing learning, advocating and scaling community impact locally, nationally and internationally.
