Jesuit Social Services is a work of the Australian Jesuit Province. We operate under an independent Board of Directors as an incorporated organisation.
Our tradition is based in Jesuit Mission, with its focus on seeking what matters, finding God in all events and people, and on faith and justice.
Like our work in programs, research and advocacy, our impact is far reaching. Learn about the positive difference we create in communities around Australia.
Our leadership role within the global Jesuit community reflects our Jesuit and Catholic foundations. Learn more about a number of activities we lead in cooperation with others in the Catholic community.
Our vision for Reconciliation is for an Australia of equality where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians can walk side-by-side, acknowledging the past, but looking to the future.
Our underpinning principle is to build and promote healthy relationships between the interconnected ecosystem of people, place and planet which, when damaged, lead to disadvantage, poverty, inequality, prejudice and exclusion.
Our programs connect with the natural and social environments in which they operate. They recognise that the natural world can play an important role in healing, and seek to nurture the relationship between people and their environment.
Jesuit Social Services is committed to being safe and inclusive for LGBTIQA+ participants and has achieved the Rainbow Tick.
We work to keep people out of prison and help them to get their lives back on track. We also work to ensure that people leaving prison can successfully transition back into the community.
We assist people to reduce harm to themselves and others, establish healthy social connections, and engage in their community.
Not everybody has the same access to education or employment opportunities. We support people who have had limited access to learn, study and work.
We work with communities we are invited into, building connections with people seeking asylum, newly arrived migrants, First Nations people, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Feeling safe, confident and comfortable at home is a crucial aspect of supporting every person to become their best self.
The Men’s Project supports boys and men to live respectful, accountable and fulfilling lives.
Partnering with communities across Australia, the Centre for Just Places supports place-based approaches to social and ecological justice. For us, pursuing ecological justice means acknowledging and working within the interconnected web of relationships between people, place, and planet.
The inequalities in our society are layered and complex. Research and advocacy helps us all to understand, empathise, and act: from community members to the Commonwealth Government.
