Social Isolation of Older Citizens
The isolation for our older citizens within their homes and communities is becoming a serious problem throughout Australia. ACRO is committed to developing programs suited to reduce this isolation.
Recreational Opportunities for Young People
Younger Australians from disadvantaged families and others from various cultural backgrounds are being afforded the opportunity to participate in a range of activities designed to develop their social and physical skills.
Homelessness
In difficult economic times, many Australians are struggling in a rental and mortgage market skewed against them. ACRO's supported and assisted housing is helping to reduce anxiety and provide some stability during these times of distress.
Corporate Support
Much of what we would like to achieve can only happen with the support of corporate Australia and the kindness of good citizens. ACRO has always depended upon both and has been fortunate to have found good corporate citizens in Companies such as the Brisbane Airport Corporation.
The Intergenerational Connection
In any research undertaken by ACRO that seeks the opinions of citizens, there has always been a close correlation between the views of the young and those of the old. These two groups of people who are seemingly diverse, share common aspirations and concerns that finds a "natural" bond which ACRO explores.

Community Development and Strategic PlanningMany communities are fractured with citizens disconnected and paralysed by fear and a lack of information. The challenging mission of reconnecting citizens is at the core of ACRO's community development strategies.
Home Maintenance for the Elderly
We often hear of government committed to the proposition that older people should remain in thier own homes for as long as possible. ACRO's Home Assist Secure project gives a real expression to this goal by providing subsidies towards home repairs.
Innovation in Community SafetyACRO has a long and distinguished history for almost a hslf century in researching, designing and implementing programs that increase public and private safety. Core to this activity has been strong advocacy for people who are vulnerable within our communities.
Supporting ACRO's WorkLike all not-for-profit organisations, we are indebted to the kindness of benefactors. Without the financial support of the people (through government) and private financial support by way of donations, our work cannot continue. Our major goal is to create our own intermediary accommodation for homeless people and develop a support base for isolated older citizens at our Clayfield location. We urge you to consider donating to these worthy endeavours.
