About
Welcome to SAcommunity, a database of South Australian community services. It includes information about government, non-government, community based and some private sector organisations that provide services for the South Australian community in the areas of health, welfare, housing, education, community participation, information, legal services, arts and recreation
SAcommunity is provided by Connecting Up Australia (formerly Community Information Strategies Australia Inc., CISA), a not-for-profit, non-government organisation. We work to support the nonprofit sector throughout Australia. We receive an operating grant from Arts SA to provide community information services, support and training for the South Australian community.

Connecting Up Australia is an independent organisation that does not hold any particular religious or political views. We reserve the right to exclude organisations that we believe do not meet the criteria above.
Connecting Up Australia and other information providers who contribute to SAcommunity endeavour to maintain a high standard of accuracy of information. However, all contributors rely on information provided by the organisations included and therefore cannot guarantee accuracy at all times. Inclusion of information relating to suppliers of services or products does not constitute a recommendation and users should therefore take all normal precautions.
