Catholic social services agencies are calling on all parties to commit to genuine investment in regional communities and the services that support South Australia’s most vulnerable people in the lead-up to the 21 March state election.
Catholic Social Services Australia (CSSA), Centacare Catholic Country SA, and Centacare Catholic Community Services join together in highlighting critical gaps in funding, housing, and support for families and children across South Australia.
The agencies, which collectively support thousands of South Australians every day, are backing calls from the South Australian Council of Social Service (SACOSS), Child and Family Focus SA (CAFFSA) and other peak bodies for urgent action on community service funding, housing availability, and extended support for young people leaving care.
