QLD Council of Social Service (QCOSS)
Queensland Council of Social Service (QCOSS) is Queensland’s peak body for the community service sector. Our vision is to achieve equality, opportunity, and wellbeing for every person in every community.
For 60 years, we’ve been the champions for people experiencing poverty and disadvantage in communities across the breadth of Queensland – from Torres Strait to the Tweed, from Burketown to Burleigh – in metropolitan, regional, and remote areas.
We create positive social change through our work in advocacy and policy development, engaging and empowering the social service sector and communities.
We’re committed to self-determination and opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
We believe that every person in Queensland – regardless of where they come from, who they pray to, their gender, who they love, how or where they live – deserves to live a life of equality, opportunity and wellbeing.
QCOSS is a conduit for change. We bring people together to help solve the big social issues faced by people in Queensland. Our advocacy and policy development, capacity building work and engagement with the social service sector and the community is all geared to achieving positive social change for Queensland.
To achieve our vision, we work hard to connect communities, our members, the sector, other peak bodies, government and business.
By working together, we amplify our collective voice and achieve the results our community needs.
