It was formed in 1956. ACOSS is active in areas of social policy, including community sector policy, climate and energy, economics and tax, income support and employment, health, housing and homelessness, and poverty and inequality. The ACOSS CEO is often interviewed by Australian media for comment and analysis on social matters and policies of the Australian Government.
