Value proposition

The Brotherhood of St. Laurence (BSL) is a social justice organisation working towards an Australia free of poverty.

The Brotherhood of St. Laurence (BSL) is a social justice organisation working alongside people experiencing disadvantage to address the fundamental causes of poverty in Australia.

We believe no one should live in poverty. It’s why we exist.

Our mission is to pursue lasting change; to create a more compassionate and just society where everyone can thrive.

We think differently and take a unique approach to address the fundamental causes of poverty in our community. Our approach is informed directly by the people experiencing disadvantage and uses evidence drawn from our research, together with insights from our programs and services, to develop practical solutions that work.

We are proud to be a strong voice for people experiencing disadvantage. It has been our way since the 1930s when Father Tucker’s activism for social reform amid the Great Depression led to our inception. And today, all Australians can be part of the change. Together, let’s make change that lasts for an Australia free of poverty.
