Submission to the 2018/19 NSW State Budget - Jesuit Social Services

In our submission to the 2018/19 NSW State Budget, Jesuit Social Services advocated for spending that prioritises social and community services that enable communities to flourish. We called for:

a whole-of-government, long-term strategic approach to entrenched and localised disadvantage
investment in initiatives to prevent and address male violence in young boys and men
targets to reduce youth offending, recidivism, incarceration, and the number of young people on remand
raising the age of criminal responsibility to 14 years
utilising justice reinvestment to reduce reoffending rates and the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the justice system, and
investment in Corporate Diversity Partnerships for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities with high unemployment rates.

Federal Pre-Budget Submission 2024-25

Jesuit Social Services calls on the Federal government to devote resources towards reducing inequity and exclusion, and ensuring people on the margins are given every opportunity to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. The upcoming budget must provide meaningful cost of living relief, especially for people on the lowest incomes, and must provide adequate and secure funding for the community service organisations that are dealing with unprecedented levels of demand in the face of events such as the worsening housing crisis.
