To help struggling families send their kids to school, Service NSW designed the Back-to-School Voucher program.

The program improves the affordability of school supplies through 3x $50 vouchers at 2300 registered businesses, including for the first time, major retailers across NSW. The program generated $144.1m in support since December 2022.

Social prescribing is an initiative of the Victorian Department of Health’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Division. It’s about reimagining support for people experiencing psychological distress, mental ill health and addiction. It proposes a design-led response to loneliness and social isolation through community-based activities.
