Brotherhood of St. Laurence

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

We have a range of programs and services for every stage of life and for everyone – to support people as they work to overcome disadvantage and achieve their goals. Our programs and services focus on those things we know that will help create lasting change – education, training, employment, supporting financial security and a range of other services that provide people the support they need.

Our approach is informed directly by people experiencing disadvantage and uses evidence drawn from our research, together with insights from our programs and services to develop practical solutions that work.

to be a voice for people experiencing disadvantage. It’s 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 take part.

By including a gift in your Will to the Brotherhood of St. Laurence you will help give each and every Australian the chance to be free of disadvantage, free of the mental and physical strain of poverty and free to fulfill their dreams and potential.
