Submissions

SACOSS together with ACOSS and other councils of social service, in a coalition of 23 not-for-profit community organisations, has spoken out in support of 7-star rated homes with solar as a national minimum building standard.

The coalition of community groups has joined forces urging Australian Government ministers to support the improvement of energy performance standards in the 2022 National Construction Code (NCC) in a joint statement. Signatories include major peak bodies and organisations across the social services, tenancy, community, and environmental sectors.

SACOSS has provided a submission on a draft Bill entitled the Equal Opportunity (Religious Bodies) Amendment Bill 2020. If enacted, it would make a number of amendments to the religious bodies exemptions currently contained in section 50 of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 (SA). SACOSS's submission  looks at the role the federal government's Religious Freedom Bills, moving to a discrimination by application' model, extending the list of services, and ensuring stakeholders and the community generally are all aware of EO protections.
