Benevolent Society

The Benevolent Society story is basically the story of the social workers the nurses, and the carers.

Visualize, an Australia whereby child labour remains widespread, with no free legal assistance, no old age pension and where there no professional maternity care. Then you've just visualized an Australia with The Benevolent Society missing or absent.

The Benevolent Society story is basically the story of the social workers the nurses, and the carers who are constantly giving support people during their times of want. This is the story of people in their thousands who are donating money and time towards helping the Benevolent Society to assist others and the advocates who are fighting for lots of things which we are taking for granted currently.

From the beginning, the Benevolent Society has been there for anybody who needs them, being at the centre of change. This is Australia's first charity, non-religious, a not-for-profit organisation which has helped families, people and communities attain positive change from the year 1813.
