Missionbeat

Missionbeat is an iconic Sydney service that has been operating for 30 years. Missionbeat provides care and compassion to people in distress, as well as transport for homeless people to those places where their immediate needs can be met - safe accommodation food, medical attention and other intervention and support options.

On The Beat

Missionbeat began in 1979 after the repeal of the Summary Offences Act allowed for an alternative to the arrest of intoxicated people and their placement in police cells in response Mission Australia established Missionbeat and suggested the setting up of proclaimed places - sobering up units where people could receive medical attention, clean clothes, a shower, food and a bed.

 Since then Missionbeat has patrolled Sydney's inner city streets - seven days a week, 365 days a year - working in close collaboration with other homeless services, to help break the cycle of homelessness.

 Missionbeat's committed and dedicated staff meet individuals and families at their greatest point of need offering hope, support and encouragement and help to access the appropriate services. Missionbeat forms an important link in an holistic approach to fighting homelessness.
