Company Profile

Company Description:

Established during the Great Depression, the Brotherhood of St Laurence was the vision and creation of Fr Gerard Tucker, a man who combined his Christian faith with a fierce determination to end social injustice. The BSL has developed into an independent organisation with strong Anglican and community links. Today, we continue to fight for an Australia free of poverty.

The Given the Chance (GtC) program focuses on finding employment and traineeship solutions for the most disadvantaged people who aspire to participate in the mainstream economic and social life of our community; the best opportunity to build a good life comes from having a stable job.
GtC provides training and targeted placement in sectors as diverse as facilities maintenance, security, banking and finance, health care, call centres, administration, aged care and children's services.
