About Us

As Australia's first charity, our vision is a just society where everyone lives their best life.

We've been supporting people with disability, children and families, older Australians and carers since 1813. 

Not-for-profit and non-religious, we’re committed to people.

Through a dedicated team, a network of service providers, partnerships and volunteers, we change lives.

We support you and your loved ones to thrive. We're there so children get the best start, people with disability live their best life, and older Australians can stay in their homes. We're there for the families and carers. 

In the face of challenging times, we want to reassure you that we are still delivering our services across all disciplines.

The safety, health and wellbeing of our people, clients and community is our utmost priority at The Benevolent Society.

We speak up to create a society that’s just and fair. And we always will.
