As the peak non-government representative body for community services in South Australia, SACOSS believes in justice, opportunity and shared wealth for all South Australians. SACOSS has a strong membership base of almost 300 people and organisations from a broad range of areas in the social services arena. Members of our organisation span both small and large agencies, peak bodies, service providers, individuals and some government departments. Members display an impressive commitment to social justice in South Australia, manifest in our 40-strong policy council and range of sub-groups that tackle specific issues. These groups actively debate issues of importance to the sector and strive for better public policy. The voice of SACOSS is strong, resolute and committed, and draws strength from being part of a cohesive membership of like-focussed people. SACOSS is part of a national network, consisting of ACOSS and the State and Territory Councils of Social Service, who assist low income and disadvantaged people Australia wide.
SACOSS' purpose is to influence public policy in a way that promotes fair and just access to the goods and services required to live a decent life.
