Community services
are for all Canberrans!
Nearly every Canberran uses community services each year, often without even realising it. This week, you or someone you know will likely access one of these essential services.
Community services build the wellbeing of all Canberrans. Their purpose is to help and support all Canberrans across their life span – during the good times and the tough times.
But here’s the reality: ACT community services are significantly underfunded. This funding shortfall threatens the essential programs and support that so many in our community depend on. We need your help to change this.
Increased funding for community services means better support for people in need, stronger social connections, and a healthier, more resilient ACT community.
Join the ACTforCommunity Campaign
ACTforCommunity is a powerful campaign aimed at informing all candidates of the need to increase funding for our vital community services. By joining us, you can help ensure that community organisations receive the necessary funding to:
- continue delivering essential services to Canberrans
- ensure these services are delivered promptly; and
- operate from fit-for-purpose, welcoming, and safe facilities.
Why Your Support Is Crucial
Without adequate funding, the quality and availability of community services are at risk. This affects everyone in our community, including you and your loved ones.
ACTforCommunity is a coalition of ACT peak bodies, ACT community services and fellow Canberrans. Find out more about our supporters.
