Research set to improve services AnglicareSA’s partnerships with two South Australian universities are delivering evidence-based research designed to enhance outcomes for our customers. In a new collaboration, AnglicareSA has partnered with Flinders University’s Social Work Innovation Research Living Space (SWIRLS) with the objective of improving outcomes for children and families doing it tough. By combining our experience working at the coalface of disadvantage with the SWIRLS research capability, we can develop groundbreaking solutions to social issues affecting individuals, families and communities. The results will enable AnglicareSA to co-design, implement and evaluate innovative services and programs that best support young people, especially those leaving the foster care system.
and advocacy in areas such as homelessness, child protection, disability and aged care. Working with the university sector to produce evidence-based research, we continue to improve our services, establish best practice models and, ultimately, create long-term, sustainable change for those in need.
As a foundation partner of The Australian Alliance for Social Enterprise (TAASE), located within the University of South Australia’s business school, we continue to work with the wider social services sector to meet the demands of changing markets and funding models. Together, we are creating an important platform for policy change
Welcome home
AnglicareSA has completed the first new homes in its 10-year social and affordable housing development program in Adelaide’s west and north.
With electricity powering all fitted appliances and the hot water system, the homes have the potential to be fully environmentally sustainable through solar power. These modern, affordable homes will provide South Australians in need with more stable housing options. We look forward to welcoming new tenants into these homes in September 2020.
The nine new homes are the first of 152 properties AnglicareSA is developing under the State Government’s Renewing our Streets and Suburbs (ROSAS) and Better Places, Stronger Communities (BPSC) housing programs. All properties have been built to the NDIS ‘improved liveability’ design standard, meaning they incorporate a reasonable level of physical access and enhanced provision for people with sensory, intellectual or cognitive impairment.
