Charity and philanthropy

In nineteenth-century Sydney, charity protected poor people from starvation and homelessness. The introduction of benefits and pensions in the early and mid-twentieth century made it less crucial, though still important. In recent times, as government outsourced many functions previously been assigned to the state, charity regained some of the influence it had in the nineteenth century.
