About
Uniting Care Ageing
The UnitingCare network is one of the largest providers of community services in Australia. Over 1,300 sites provide services and supports to more than 2 million Australians each year. The network employs 35,000 staff and 24,000 volunteers. We provide services to older Australians, children, young people and families, Indigenous Australians, people with disabilities, the poor and disadvantaged, people from culturally diverse backgrounds and older Australians in urban, rural and remote communities.
UnitingCare Australia works with and on behalf of the UnitingCare network to advocate for policies and programs that will improve people’s quality of life. UnitingCare Australia is committed to speaking with and on behalf of those who are the most vulnerable and disadvantaged for the common good.
UnitingCare Australia believes that all people have the right to access a decent standard of living. This includes access to:
- appropriate food, clothing, housing and health care;
- meaningful work, education, rest and recreation;
- the opportunity to meaningfully express and explore spiritual needs; and
- the opportunity to participate in and contribute to communities.
