Contribute to our vital work in advocating for a more equitable, thriving and inclusive society

Join our collective voice to tackle disadvantage in NSW

As NSW’s peak body for social services, we support the community organisations on the ground who are fighting poverty and disadvantage and the individuals, families and communities they work with.

By joining us, we can all help raise the profile of the sector, and fight for the resourcing we need to do our job providing services to people who need them and respect we deserve.

We have a range of benefits to benefit your organisation and help make a difference for the people who need it.
