The Georgatos Foundation is dedicated to making a difference to the lives of marginalised and vulnerable people, and to combating racism and discrimination in all its forms.
As an Australian charity, we focus on several key areas, to foster equal access to the law and to the amenities of life.
Our Objectives
Empowering Ex-Offenders
We establish, promote, and run vocational training and mentoring programs designed to provide pathways to employment for ex-juvenile and adult offenders. By offering practical skills and mentorship, we aim to help individuals reintegrate into society successfully.
Supporting the Homeless
We provide monetary and other forms of assistance to alleviate homelessness. Our efforts are geared towards giving those affected by homelessness the support they need to rebuild their lives.
Advocacy
We facilitate access to legal and advocacy services, promote the Human Rights of people who are the victims of discrimination, injustice and social inequity and to those facing adjustment problems, including post-incarceration. Our goal is to promote equal access to Human Rights, to combat discrimination and address disadvantage
Promoting Human Rights
As a public benevolent and charitable institution, we utilise the benefits of current and future legislation available to benevolent institutions and charities. This includes our charitable status and exemptions from federal and state taxation and duty laws to achieve our objectives. We are committed to promoting and protecting human rights by enabling access to legal and advocacy services, initiating and defending litigation for individuals whose human rights have been infringed, and supporting them regardless of race, religion, or creed.
Improving Mental Health
We provide and facilitate access to mental health services for individuals struggling with cognitive impairments, mental health disorders, and other diagnosable illnesses. By addressing mental health needs, we strive to enhance the overall well-being of our community.
Our Commitment
At the Georgatos Foundation, we are committed to improving the lives of those we serve. Through our various programs and initiatives, we aim to create a fairer and compassionate society.
Special Appeal: Help Launch a Digital Legal Clinic for Vulnerable Communities
The Georgatos Foundation is hosting a special appeal to fund the establishment of an innovative digital legal clinic dedicated to supporting vulnerable people — including, but not limited to, those affected by homelessness, mental health issues, cognitive impairment, racial or religious discrimination, and past or present incarceration.
This clinic will make legal help more accessible to people facing serious barriers to justice by delivering free and low-cost support via digital channels and clinical legal education, supported by a team of legal professionals, law students, and community advocates.
Funds raised through this special appeal will be used to support all aspects of the clinic’s establishment, including but not limited to:
