About Us
The Big Issue Australia is one of Australia’s leading social enterprises providing creative solutions to the issue of homelessness.
We achieve this by using different mechanisms to connect people with the community, such as The Big Issue Street Magazine Enterprise (a fortnightly independent current affairs magazine sold on the street by our authorised vendors), the Community Street Soccer Program (a national initiative using the positive power of sport to change lives), and The Big Issue Classroom (that challenges primary and secondary students to break down stereotypes surrounding homelessness and encourage tolerance and empathy towards all people).
The Big Issue opens its doors to all members of the community who are homeless or marginalised.
… paving the way
The Big Issue is committed to being the leader in social enterprise in Australia. As we move forward we will continue to grow and foster The Big Issue Street Magazine Enterprise, the Street Soccer Program, the Women’s Subscription Enterprise as well as ignite new initiatives that will achieve our organisational goals.
