Brotherhood of St Laurence
The Brotherhood of St. Laurence (BSL) is a social justice organisation working to prevent and alleviate poverty across Australia. We believe no one should live in poverty.
We work alongside people experiencing disadvantage to address the fundamental causes of poverty in Australia. Our mission is to pursue lasting change and to create a more compassionate and just society where everyone can thrive.
Our approach is informed directly by the people experiencing disadvantage and uses evidence drawn from our research, together with insights from our programmes and services, to develop practical solutions that work.
We also believe change can only happen when people work together, which is why partnerships with the broader community and organisations nationally are a cornerstone of BSL.
We are proud to be a strong voice for people experiencing disadvantage. It has been our way since the 1930s when Father Tucker’s activism for social reform amid the Great Depression led to our inception.
