AV 2021 Annual Report

2021 Anglicare Victoria Annual Report – Survive Thrive

During a challenging year, our staff and volunteers worked harder than ever to ensure no one was left behind.

Something that has inspired us all over the last year has been the way some of the state’s most vulnerable young people and families have made the journey from surviving to thriving.

They have done this with the help of Anglicare Victoria’s dedicated staff, everyday heroes who never took a step back despite the many personal and professional challenges over the last year.

In this year’s annual report, you will hear from young people, families, foster carers, case workers and staff, as they tell stories from the frontline of the pandemic in their own words. These are education specialists, people who have needed emergency relief for the first time in their lives, and community lawyers who learned how to drive off-road vehicles to remote corners of the state to help those still affected by the bushfires early in 2020. Through our clients’ words you can also get a sense of what we do every day at AV. With so much change in the way people are living their lives, we’ve had to change the way we work to help those most in need.

We continued to look for ways to reach in and help, whether in residential care, supporting struggling families or working closely with the residents of public housing towers who found themselves suddenly locked down due to a COVID-19 outbreak. This work shows the resilience and determination of our people.

We showed that we were not afraid to lean in to meet some of the most profound challenges of the pandemic whenever the opportunity presented itself. We help those in need to move from survive to thrive.
