Latest news: Celebrating 20 years of SVA
This year we are celebrating our 20th anniversary by launching a campaign to help Australia get #disadvantagetozero.
We work to influence systems
We understand that disadvantage is often perpetuated by a failing system, and so we seek to influence change at a systems level.

We learn what works in communities
We work with partners to understand what drives social outcomes at both a local and systems level.

We help organisations be more effective
We help our clients and partners to develop clear strategies, find ways to collaborate for greater social impact, and to measure and evaluate the change they are creating.

We invest in social outcomes
By growing the impact investing market in Australia we enable innovative enterprises and organisations to scale their social impact.

We share our perspectives
We are committed to evidence informed practice and two-way knowledge sharing, so that we can learn from the community, and the community can learn from us.

We advocate for change
We build relationships with government, and across the sector, to help drive improved social outcomes and influence systemic change.
