VCOSS is the peak representative body for Victoria’s social and community sector, and the state’s leading social advocacy organisation.

We work towards creating a Victoria that is a fair, just and inclusive.

Where nobody is trapped by poverty, and everybody is supported to live a life of wellbeing.

Here are just some of the ways.

Consulting with members, collecting evidence and analysing trends to develop smart policy proposals for change.

Using our relationships, influence, community connections and public profile to campaign for fair and just Victoria.

Working alongside members and other groups to ensure the community sector is strong, well-funded and resilient.

VCOSS produces formal submissions to dozens of inquiries and policy development processes each year.

These are prepared in consultation with VCOSS members and the broader sector.

Stand alone policy reports on topics of significance are also produced.

You can view all our work in the VCOSS Policy Library.
