Community Services
Make a genuine difference supporting individuals and communities.
What are Community Services?
Community services are a wide range of support services by government and non-government organisations to help individuals, families and groups improve their wellbeing. These services can include information, advice, resources, intervention and financial help across a wide range of areas including drug and alcohol treatment, mental health support, domestic violence assistance, youth work, disability services, housing help, refugee support, working with Indigenous communities, and job network assistance.
The demand for community service workers is high worldwide, with Australia projecting over 94,700 individuals to work in the industry by 2026. This highlights the industry’s importance in providing essential services to those in need while ensuring social and economic inclusion.
