The Oasis is a 2008 Australian documentary produced by Shark Island Productions and directed by Ian Darling and Sascha Ettinger Epstein.

[1] Filmed over two years at The Oasis Youth Support Network[2] refuge run by the Salvation Army in Surry Hills, Australia, the documentary follows Captain Paul Moulds, Robbin Moulds and the daily lives of both the young people and the Salvation Army staff who care for them and work with them to try to make a difference in their lives.

[7] More than two years after the initial screening and live panel discussion on ABC Television in April 2008, supported by a comprehensive education and outreach campaign, the documentary has helped ensure that youth homelessness remains on the national agenda.

The education and outreach campaign based on The Oasis documentary was designed to combine grassroots support for vulnerable young people, with the possibility of effecting long-lasting social change.

[12] In 2008, all Australian secondary schools and philanthropic foundations were provided with The Oasis DVD, comprehensive Study Guide[13] and a copy of the NYC Report.

The second phase had a specific focus to engage philanthropic and community partners, attempt to raise awareness and encourage early intervention into the issues around child abuse and neglect.
