Celebrating 150 years: the 2008-09 Annual Review

Released today, the 2009 Mission Australia Annual Review details the key achievements of the organisation over the last financial year and celebrates its dynamic 150 year history. Much may have changed since 1859 but the purpose of Mission Australia remains the same - to transform the lives of Australians in need.

The review was also an opportunity to profile the very people who have kept Mission Australia in operation for so long: its supporters. Steven, Noel, Margaret and Colin share their stories, and a special message is included from Margaret McKay - the great granddaughter of Sydney City Mission founder Benjamin Short.

Highlights of the review
In 2008-09 Mission Australia:
  • Transformed the lives of 311,261 Australians in need
  • Increased company revenue to $308,570,336
  • Increased fundraising by $3 million
  • Grew our net assets by 2%
  • Established Mission Australia Housing
  • Established Mission Australia Early Learning Services
