Power Together
QCOSS is part of an alliance of advocacy organisations who want to re-imagine and unlock the powers of renewable energy to reduce cost of living pressures for all Queenslanders, forever.
Raise the Age
Government must work collaboratively with children, families, communities and the community sector to design a framework and service system to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility.
Make Renting Fair in Queensland
During the last two years, Queensland rents have increased at rates well above inflation. With more than 33 per cent of households in Queensland calling a rental home, we need fair, safe and certain renting laws for all Queenslanders.
The Town of Nowhere
The Town of Nowhere campaign brings together a coalition of community organisations and everyday Queenslanders dedicated to ending our state’s housing crisis. We’re calling on the government to take action by making a substantial investment in building social homes.
Raise the Rate for Good
The continuing COVID-19 health and economic crises have led to more people than ever before struggling to find paid work. We are calling for a permanent and adequate increase to JobSeeker, Youth Allowance and related payments to cover the basics, so everyone can put a roof over their head and food on the table.
Queensland Budget advocacy
Each year, following consultation with QCOSS members, we develop our budget priorities for the community services sector. Our budget priorities are designed to strengthen the community services sector, end the housing crisis, bridge the digital divide, expand low-income households’ access to the renewable energy transformation, and eliminate inequality and the gender pay gap.
Gender equality
We view gender equality as an issue of critical importance and we support and deliver strategies, initiatives and advocacy that improve outcomes for women in Queensland.
