Can You Help?
There is so much more that we could and need to achieve through our advocacy for the poor and our proclamation of a better way of life.
As you partner with us, we look forward to what can be achieved in the future... thanks to your generosity!See our support us section for options about donating, volunteering or leaving a bequest.
Steps Outreach Service
Steps Outreach Service is a small team of dedicated workers and volunteers who spend time at the Steps of Flinders St Station, forming relationship with young homeless people. We help them out with whatever their needs may be - referral to other services and advocacy, helping them to access emergency and longer term accommodation, or to reconcile with their families. Some young people are supported through detox or rehabilitation. Others are provided with basic material aid to get them through the next couple of nights of sleeping rough – sleeping bags, blankets, socks and toiletries. With crisis accommodation already full to overflowing, some young people have no other option than to sleep ‘under the bridge’.
25 Years of Steps Outreach Service
2010 represents the 25th Anniversary of the legendary work of Steps Outreach Service - one of our oldest programs and one of Melbourne's pioneering and longest-running relational homeless programs.
Under the Bridge
To mark this milestone, Concern Australia, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Southbank, is launching a special book titled Under the Bridge, with stunning photography by Melbourne-based professional photographer Peter Casamento and leading student photographers, combined with inspiring poetry from Melbourne's homeless young people.
