As a group we are doing wonderful work with marginalised and isolated people in cities all around our country with various initiatives. We have the opportunity now to evaluate our current offerings, extend our most effective programs and create new ones. The aim is to have greater numbers of our members serving those in need with direct assistance.

Gradually in the coming years we must endeavour to increase the number of projects that are created and driven by the Order. Projects that have a direct impact and give our members the opportunity to be face to face with those they serve.

Australia is known as the ‘Lucky Country’ for a myriad of different reasons including freedom of speech, opportunities, standard of living and social support for those disadvantaged. This doesn’t mean that we are a nation free of poverty or hardship, it just means we have to look a little harder and move a little closer to see those in need. These include the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in our society such as the elderly, the sick, the handicapped, the poor and the homeless
