ISS has particular concern with the protection of the most vulnerable families and children. This kind of migration and the subsequent need to co-ordinate activities across several countries on behalf of families separated by national borders was the catalyst for ISS to establish its international social work network. It has continued to develop its global network as more recent international conflicts, problems within nations and the human mobility have given rise to new situations for separated families with which ISS has been asked for help. ISS Australia was founded in 1961. Both individual people and other service agencies can contact ISS to discuss their problem confidentially and see whether ISS can assist.
Appointments are essential.
