About.
Who We Are.
Schools Ministry Group (SMG) is a South Australian not-for-profit provider of student wellbeing services.
For over 30 years, SMG has partnered with South Australian schools to deliver pastoral care, resilience building, and wellbeing education as part of the fabric of school communities.
Our tailored programs go beyond single sessions or workshops — instead, we work alongside educators, families, and staff to foster cultures of purpose, value, and hope.
By building strong wellbeing foundations, we support young people to make healthy choices, grow through adversity, and flourish in every stage of life.
Aim.
For every South Australian student to be supported with the wellbeing foundations they need to flourish at school, at home, and in life.
Impact.
Through one-to-one care, group programs, and whole-school support, SMG has become the pastoral care provider of choice across South Australia.
Our presence in over 200 schools reflects a deep trust built over decades, with a proven model that delivers life-long positive results.
By bringing purpose, value, and hope into the daily life of schools, SMG continues to shape healthier, stronger communities — empowering the next generation to thrive.
