An effective champion for social justice.

Elevating the voices of consumers to affect social change

Uniting advocates for an inclusive, connected and just future.

We all know while providing community services supports the change consumers deserve, there are broader structural challenges at play which cause poverty, trauma and disadvantage.

Uniting has a deep and continuing legacy of elevating the voices of consumers to affect social change.
