ABOUT US
The Salvation Army is a Christian movement and one of Australia's largest and most-loved charities.
We believe in doing good that transforms lives and futures for the better.
It is this belief which drives us to find new ways and places where we can make a difference.
From times of personal crisis to moments of national grief, we are always here — providing support, safety, community, and opportunity.
At the Salvation Army Employment Plus (EPlus),
we've
worked with over 200,000 businesses across Australia and seen well over half a million Australians successfully placed in employment.
We
don't
ever see a job, as just a job.
We see a job as an opportunity for a better, more secure, more
stable
and empowered life.
