Abstract
This report profiles Australia’s community service sector, highlighting the sector’s characteristics and strengths as it works to address poverty and disadvantage. Information is based on responses to the Australian Community Sector Survey (ACSS), conducted by the Social Policy Research Centre, University of New South Wales, in collaboration with Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) and the COSS Network. The national survey was completed by 1454 community sector staff, including 406 organisational leaders, in October 2019.
