What We Do

4 Voices is a for-purpose organisation and registered charity with the ACNC.

 

Connecting women,

changing lives

Everyone needs connection, and everyone's needs are different.

We offer various options to find the support needed, whether it's a friendly chat over coffee, phone access, or technology for individual goals.

Our Services:

  • Face-to-face connection: Enjoy conversation and coffee in a welcoming space.

  • Phone support: Speak with a caring volunteer from anywhere in Australia.

  • Technology access: Get connected to support with mobile phones, laptops, printers, scan/copy/print facilities, and Wi-Fi.

  • Life skills support: Receive assistance with resumes, job searching, and interview preparation.

  • Referral services: Connect with resources for food, housing, and other advice.

A simple connection can make a big impact. Let us help find the support needed, on your terms.

Ours is a free service made possible by generous donations and sponsorships.

 

Social Connection

We offer a safe space for women and girls of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life to connect and overcome social isolation. Our mobile outreach service brings support directly to communities, fostering a welcoming environment for individuals to feel heard and respected.

Our Approach:

  • Open spaces: We operate in outdoor settings or under awnings, promoting ease of conversation and comfort.

  • Non-judgmental support: Our dedicated volunteers connect with participants without judgment, building trust, confidence, and genuine relationships.

  • Simple joys: We understand that sometimes, a smile, a kind word, or a moment of connection can make a significant impact.

  • Ongoing support: We offer phone follow-up and additional support through our network of volunteers across Australia.

 

Digital Connection

While digital literacy varies across Australia, 2.5 million Australians remained offline in 2022, often due to age, socio-economic factors, or vulnerability due to domestic violence or homelessness.

We're here to bridge that gap. Our mobile outreach service provides access to technology – mobile phones, computers, printers, and scanners – directly within communities. Dedicated volunteers, located across Australia, offer vital support through phone or video calls, ensuring no one feels isolated or left behind.

Together, we can create a more connected and empowered Australia

 

Employment Connection

We understand that everyone's path is unique, and not everyone may be ready or interested in entering the workforce immediately.

Our focus is on supporting individuals to achieve their goals, whether that's through:

  • Job search assistance: We help with resume writing, job applications, and interview preparation.

  • Business development support: We offer guidance and resources for those pursuing entrepreneurship.

  • Skills development: We provide opportunities to learn and refine valuable skills for any career path.

 

Community Connection

While no single organisation can solve complex issues like domestic violence and homelessness, collaboration empowers us to make a greater impact. Our network connects individuals with valuable community resources, matching needs with appropriate organisations.

We understand that seeking help can be daunting, especially within government settings. Our outreach services, often located near essential resources like Centrelink, Legal Aid, and housing departments, offer additional support. Volunteers provide a compassionate presence and can accompany individuals during appointments, helping navigate the process and advocating when needed

This is the essence of Community Connection, the 4 Voices way
