The Brotherhood of St Laurence has cared for Australia's most disadvantaged people, from young children to aged members of our community, for more than 80 years. From our humble beginnings in Fitzroy, Victoria, our programs now reach across Australia helping to build better lives.

Our vision is an Australia free of poverty. We work with others to create a fair, compassionate and just society where all can fully participate in social and economic life, create and share prosperity and treat each other with dignity and respect.
