Corporate support at Christmas will help us to spread the festive spirit to thousands of disadvantaged people across Australia.

Our corporate partners support us in the form of volunteering at Christmas celebrations, in kind collections of food hampers, toiletries & gifts.

If you are one of our valued corporate partners we will already be speaking with you about our services requests for support this Christmas and how you would like to be involved.

If you are not already involved with MA, at this stage we are already fully subscribed for corporate volunteering.

If your organisation would like to assist by undertaking a Christmas collection in your workplace, please see below needs for each state and contact your relevant state for delivery arrangements for this festive season.

Please limit expenditure on any gift or voucher to $40.

We will be receiving collection goods up until Friday December 14th.

Celebrating the success of the 'City Lens on Brisbane Streets' exhibition

A side of Brisbane that most of us would never see has been captured through the photos of a group of homeless and disadvantaged teenagers. The City Lens on Brisbane Streets exhibition, which ran from May to June at the Brisbane Powerhouse, provided a visual journey of life in Brisbane through these young people's eyes. For two months prior to the exhibition, the participants - under the guidance of internationally renowned photographers Antoine Matarasso and Henri van Noordenburg - hit the streets with cameras to document their perspective of the city. The project was a joint initiative between Mission Australia and Brisbane City Council, to commemorate Mission Australia's 150th Birt... Read More ...

Good news from the front line - inspiring stories of transformation

Hearing from Mission Australia’s staff about what’s happening in their services can be incredibly inspiring. Here are two recent breakthroughs reported from Mission Australia’s front line: An incredible turnaround for Kate Kate* came to Mission Australia Wagga’s Youth Connections program with complex issues including self harm and very low self esteem. After receiving Mission Australia’s help with her personal issues as well as her accommodation for the past six months, Kate has now secured a one bedroom Department of Housing unit in central Wagga. Kate has now left Mission Australia’s care full of confidence, engaging in social activities, and enrolled in TAFE. All the st... Read More ...

A fresh approach in the mission to enable refugee and migrants to gain sustainable employment

Young migrants and refugees often don’t have the same opportunities as other Australians when entering the workforce due to financial, cultural and educational barriers. Mission Australia’s ‘Getting to Work’ program in the City of Greater Dandenong aims to change that by offering these young people the opportunity to overcome their barriers and the chance to get a job with local employers. Importantly, this unique and holistic program has been developed with the Victorian Government’s Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development (DIIRD), local business and local youth and employment providers in Dandenong and follows thorough consultation with local young people....

WA Child Protection Minister presents MA with $100,000 investment for 'On-TRACK' program

From right to left: Mission Australia's WA State Director, Ross Kyrwood, WA's Minister for Child Protection, Robyn McSweeney and three members of Mission Australia's On-TRACK team.

NSW’s juvenile justice system must change

News that the NSW Government has classified a report on the state’s juvenile justice network as "cabinet-in-confidence" for the first time in more than 20 years speaks volumes about the health of the system. While the Attorney-General has confirmed the report will be released in a fortnight’s time, the fact its contents are so sensitive suggests it portrays NSW’s juvenile justice system in a state of utter disarray. There has been a 40 per cent increase in juveniles on remand in NSW – that is, young people detained while waiting for their day in court – over the last two years. Overcrowding has become so commonplace there are reports teenagers are being forced to sleep in dete... Read More ...

Ride for Youth - latest update from Yohei

Mission Australia's intrepid supporter - the Japanese cyclist, Yohei Takahashi - will today begin facing the biggest challenge of his 7000km journey from Brisbane to Perth, the brutal 1200 km stretch that is the Nullarbor Plain. Yohei has pedalled through Adelaide and is now on the downward leg of his journey out of South Australia where he has received an extraordinary amount of support from well-wishers, donors and the media. One anonymous donor made a $500 contribution after reading about Yohei’s epic journey in the Adelaide Advertiser. With just the bare essentials - instant noodles, tinned salmon, water and a tent - Yohei hopes to conquer the Nullarbor in 12 days. We encourage... Read More ...

Missionbeat receives encouraging feedback from former client

One of the things that makes our work worthwhile is seeing the people we help get back on their feet and transform their lives. Missionbeat, Mission Australia's iconic homeless outreach service which patrols Sydney's inner city streets, was encouraged to recently receive some well-deserved feedback from a former client: "To Mission Australia, My name is Tony*. Was homeless for weeks, since I wasnt entitled to centrelink payments, also I couldnt afford to keep a roof over my head. Mission Australia have been so kind and supportive during this hard time in my life, I am grateful for all your help. The only way is up for me now, thanks again guys.
