SMOS works on three levels to address issues of homelessness:

1. Temporary relief – Through providing food, clothing and immediate needs such as a hot meal.




2. Long term alleviation of homelessness – Through regularly speaking to individuals and developing friendships and rapport, in an attempt to help individuals back into mainstream society, through uncovering their particular individual needs at that point in their lives.




3. Medium to Long Term goals of providing counselling, professional medical care, health care services, rehabilitation, housing and employment.

SMOS has a weekly service every Monday night where volunteers will transport food, beverages and clothing to the less fortunate in the Perth regional area.

SMOS understands that many families are struggling with day to day living and many children come from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. With this in mind, we are aware that many children go to school without breakfast and lunch and come poorly equipped with school supplies.

It is our goal that all children have the same opportunity to succeed and achieve by offering them the necessities of breakfast, fresh fruit and back to bright outcomes in students well-being, school attendance and in class participation, social development, improved school performance results, further tertiary education and confidence to integrate into the community and pursue their career aspirations.

SMOS stresses that we are all equals without partiality. The gap in living standards, mortality, morbidity and general quality of life between the average Australian and Indigenous Australian’s must be one and the same.

SMOS endeavours to provide community outreach service in marginalised areas, particularly in remote regional areas were access to health professionals can be received.

SMOS hopes to bring equality and improved standard of living and health to indigenous Australians.

SMOS is giving social attention to the elderly in nursing homes, to ensure that community support is offered back to those who served the community all their lives. That the elderly feel appreciated and valued for their contribution to society.

Many elderly widows may be grieving through the loss of their life long loved ones; we endeavour to support them through kindness and empathy.

SMOS is also involved in following up on the elderly, to help them continue their independence, through volunteer work for house hold chores, grocery shopping and calling in once a week to check up on them. By this the charity hopes the elderly can continue their lives with dignity and encouragement.

SMOS is engaged with Prisons to help provide counselling support to prisoners and social support for their families. It is the hope that prisoners are offered the best chance of rehabilitation into mainstream society, employment, whilst positive support and care is offered on hand to their families.

SMOS recognises Australia to be a vibrant multi-cultural migrant country, where refugees can start fresh beginnings with human dignity in a gifted land of opportunity.

We are appreciative that refugees may come to Australia fleeing from oppressive ideologies and often war torn countries that suppress the rights of men, women and children. SMOS aims to understand refugees from diverse backgrounds and help them communicate and integrate safely into Australian society. Thus SMOS strives to offer refugees the benefits of Australian community services at hand; teach the English language, offer assistance in gaining employment, enrich their lives with accessibility to education and facilitate rehabilitative counselling.
