State Budget Submissions

Contributing to the State Budget cycle is one of the most important ways that SARC can influence social policy. Each year, we ask the State Government to direct its funds into those social policy areas where the need is the greatest.

Our budget submissions also provide important information about the issues that lie behind our requests.
