Elections and budget

Mission Australia’s pre-budget submission focuses on the need for significant progress on homelessness and affordable housing and the need for adequate funding for evidence-based programs that have a positive impact on people’s lives and support them on their journey to independence. This includes investment in child safety and youth programs, ensuring adequate mental health and drug and alcohol supports and strengthening communities of entrenched and persistent disadvantage.
