Catalyst Foundation is an inclusive, independent and charitable not-for-profit organisation.
As a leading provider of information for older people, communities and the care sector in South Australia, we empower individuals to make informed decisions about ageing well through trusted information, support and service connections.
Established in 1994 as the Seniors Information Service, we became Catalyst Foundation in 2016 to reflect our expanded services, diverse communities and commitment to creating positive change.
Catalyst Foundation’s mission is to provide inclusive, timely and enabling self-advocacy services and programs to older, vulnerable people and people living with disability, their family, friends, and carers to:
Everyday our vital services are used by the South Australian community, whether they are an individual, group or organisation.
We uphold the rights of every individual to freedom of expression, self-determination, and informed decision-making.
We remain flexible and adaptive, attuned to emerging needs and vulnerabilities within the community.
We aim to relieve distress while fostering resilience and self-management, enabling individuals to take control of their own lives.
We value the vital role of volunteers and promote peer-based support wherever possible, building sustainable capacity and shared confidence.
We seek regular feedback to inform individual and organisation wide service reviews and improvement.
With a focus on wellness and reablement, we aim to build individual capacity, empowering people to address their own challenges and needs. As an independent organisation, we help make complex service systems more accessible, promoting self-advocacy and supporting people to develop the skills and confidence to navigate these systems. We are often the first point of contact for individuals who don’t know where to begin, providing guidance and support to vulnerable groups as they navigate multiple government and community services. We understand that vulnerability is not static—people may move in and out of vulnerable circumstances throughout life—and we tailor our support accordingly. In addition to individual assistance, we advocate at a systemic level to improve service access and outcomes for the broader community.
