In 2006, Advance Institute of Business General Manager Craig Hill was chosen by Vodafone Australia to work with Big Issue Magazine to help the homeless in Brisbane.
This was as one of four participants in the Vodafone Foundation World of Difference Program, chosen from more than 500 applicants around Australia.
The World of Difference Program provided a salary of $50,000 for one year and $25,000 expenses to work with a not-for-profit organisation.
During this time Craig developed a system whereby a client could approach Big Issue in the morning and be in accommodation by that afternoon. This involved using faxes to apply to housing corporations, find suitable accommodation and apply for government housing bond loans.
Big Issue also contacted community organisations such as Red Cross, St Vincent de Paul and Lifeline to arrange furniture for this accommodation, which in most cases was delivered the same day.
Craig also wrote articles on homelessness which were published in numerous newspapers and magazines nationally, and was interviewed by print media, radio and television. He also spoke at seminars and at community organisations in Brisbane about the homelessness issue in Australia.
This was just one of many community organisations throughout Australia that Advance Institute of Business has been involved with over the past thirty years.
