Our Strategy Towards 2020
If Mission Australia is to meet the needs of a growing population, a clear guiding vision that articulates our goals, strategies and how we will create a strong, sustainable future is vital. For this reason, in October 2010 we launched Our Strategy Towards 2020.

Developed by Mission Australia’s Board and our Executive Leadership Team after extensive consultation across our service streams, it outlines our 10-year strategic direction, identifies our key client groups, our core business and priorities. Our Strategy Towards 2020 aims to ensure our organisation is in top shape to take on the challenges of the next decade.

Defining what we do best, and how, it is underpinned by four goals.

Lead experts in our fields
By advocating for disadvantaged people, influencing government, developing outstanding managers and engaging with the Christian community.

Service excellence
By striving for best practice and involving our clients and communities in service development, we will deliver better outcomes for disadvantaged Australians.

Working smarter
By working smarter we will be more effective, better serve people and deliver value for money for all our stakeholders.

Sustainable growth
By focusing on new business that is financially, socially and environmentally sustainable, we will strengthen our capacity to help Australians in need.

Mission Australia’s Annual Report 2011 highlights how as an organisation we have worked towards achieving these goals and used our core expertise across our five pathways.
