Journeying Towards Sustainability: An Australian Non-Government Organisation's Experience

The purpose of the case study is to chart an NGOs journey (Mission Australia Queensland) towards sustainability with the aim of encouraging other NGOs to begin their own journey.
The case study illustrates that becoming more sustainable is rewarding. However, it also illustrates that considerable effort is required by the organisation and that the process is sometimes far from straight forward.
As a consequence of process learnings acquired, a number of traits and practices were suggested as being useful.
By raising awareness about the nature of the journey it is hoped that NGOs will be better equipped for the undertaking.
