Advocacy

At Anglicare WA we believe that there is more to life than just getting by. We believe that everyone deserves to belong, have a hopeful future and know that they have the support they need to flourish.

We have been supporting Western Australians for almost 50 years and we are well-placed to contribute to creating a fair and just WA where all people thrive.

Advocacy Priorities

Through our work with individuals and families, we have learned about the structural issues shaping people’s lives, including structures that keep people in poverty, keep people out of the workforce, and prevent people from getting the support they need. We want to tackle some of those structural issues head on to support Western Australians. We aim to do this by conducting research, participating in public campaigns, engaging the wider community and influencing social policy.

Our advocacy is focused on:

Creating economic justice and fairness;
Ensuring that everyone has a home;
Seeking freedom from family and domestic violence and abuse; and
Supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander recognition and justice through the principles of truth-telling, listening, healing, and valuing Culture.
