Advocacy Campaigns

CISVic is committed to advocating on issues affecting community members and people seeking assistance at member agencies. We collaborate with and empower our members to campaign for change, and to provide input into government policy and decision making that better responds to the needs of vulnerable and disadvantaged people and those struggling to make ends meet.

In consultation with its members, and the Advocacy Working Group it convenes, CISVic identifies key public policy issues that impact on individuals, families and communities.

Advocacy priorities, campaigns and activities are reviewed each year with reference to the areas of highest need as presenting to agencies, and the timelines of key decision makers where influence can be wielded, such as government Inquiries, budgets and elections.

CISVic also regularly works with other not-for-profit community organisations, and peak and advocacy bodies, to strengthen its voice on issues that adversely affect our communities.
