What we believe

SACOSS has a vision that all South Australians can live a life free from poverty, in a genuinely inclusive society where there is equality of opportunity and equity of outcomes for all.

On 5 December 2007, SACOSS released its Blueprint for the eradication of Poverty in South Australia.

Drawing on and significantly expanding SACOSS's 2005 Extending Opportunity to All, the new Blueprint presents an updated and revised anti-poverty strategy to renew focus and action on the anti‑poverty agenda.

It reflects new research and government policies, enriches the evidence base, and develops and refines strategies to support the Blueprint targets.
