The 2018 Social Change Guide to the Adelaide Fringe and Adelaide Festival gives an overview of shows with a social change theme.
From 2017 to 2019 the re-invigorated Thinkers in Residence program was hosted by the Don Dunstan Foundation. Entitled the Social Capital Residencies, the goal was to enable South Australia to lead the country in creating jobs that both contribute to the economy and create social/ environmental impact. Five Thinkers visited the state across two years, culminating in nine key recommendations.
This Report offers a framework for the nine recommendations for action. It is based on five principles. It outlines conditions for success that sit atop change levers that our Thinkers believe, if advanced, will result in South Australia being recognized as a vibrant, purposeful economy that will create new jobs and advance the Sustainable Development Goals.
Ending Homelessness in the Inner City Through Service Coordination: Feasibility Study
In an effort to solve a complex issue such as homelessness, collective goodwill on its own is often not enough. Collective intent and commitment across government and non-government sectors must be matched by investment from all levels of government and operationalised through an integrated coordination of services.
Building on recommendations from international homelessness experts including Baroness Louise Casey, Institute of Global Homelessness and Dr Nonie Brennan, Adelaide’s former Thinker In Residence, this research report investigates how greater service coordination has and must play a major role in efforts to end homelessness.
After hearing from a range of voices across government and non-government service providers, stakeholders and people who have experienced homelessness, the report assesses the feasibility of establishing an inner city service coordination network in Adelaide including opportunities for colocation and coordination.
The report was prepared by The Australian Alliance for Social Enterprise, The Australian Alliance to End Homelessness for the Adelaide Zero Project, on behalf of the SA Housing Authority and City of Adelaide.
Better understanding the People on the Adelaide Zero Project’s By-Name List: The Evidence on Acuity and Inflows
The Adelaide Zero Project (AZP) holds some of the most comprehensive data on rough sleeping homelessness for a defined geographical area—the Adelaide CBD—in Australia. This report presents the findings of a targeted deep dive into the rich data source that is the AZP’s By-Name List, using two distinct lenses: acuity and inflows.
The report articulates some of the ways forward for the homelessness sector and interfacing systems to end street homelessness in Adelaide’s inner city area. It offers a framework (a ‘recipe book’) for more regular data analytics for the AZP. Such work must be prioritised for the AZP, as with such ‘live’ data analysis we can respond more effectively to the changing needs of people in the system, as well as driving individual, sustainable outcomes as well as system-level outcomes through greater service coordination. Additionally, more nimble data analysis enables AZP to rapidly test strategies to coordinate housing and support in a more efficient yet person-centred way.
Known. Housed. Supported. Aligning Housing to the Needs of People on the Adelaide Zero Project By-Name List: Data, Considerations and Implications
The Aligned Housing Research Report has been prepared for the Adelaide Zero Project as part of the work of the Aligned Housing Working Group. This Report was funded by AnglicareSA and prepared by researchers from The Australian Alliance for Social Enterprise (TAASE), University of South Australia.
The Report explores the need for aligning housing options and housing supply with individuals and wrap-around support, using the data collected through the By-Name List. The Report provides the basis for the second phase of research for the Adelaide Zero Project.
Equity Works: Achieving the Target of 2% Aboriginal Employment in the South Australian Public Sector
Since 2003 there has been significant effort by the South Australian government to enhance Aboriginal peoples’ employment outcomes in the public sector. Objective 6 of the South Australian Strategic Plan has an accompanying target to increase the employment of Aboriginal employees in the public sector from 1.2% to 2% by 2009. The Don Dunstan Foundation allocated funding for a project to identify the factors which are assisting and the factors which are impeding progress towards the achievement of the 2% Target.
