The Mission Australia Centre in Surry Hills aims to break the cycle of homelessness by empowering individuals, providing varying levels if intervention through flexible, innovating, responsive services and support options. We are looking for volunteers that will help achieve Mission Australia’s vision.

The students have computer and library resources available to them at the Mission Australia Centre as well as complimentary weekly writing and computer workshops for further assistance if needed.
