Mackillop Family Services

At MacKillop Family Services, we are dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment where children, young people, and families are empowered to thrive. Continuing the passionate commitment of our founders to social justice, we work tirelessly to ensure that every child, young person, and family has the right to safety, learning, nurturing, and a connection to culture. Our high-quality services promote healing from trauma and loss, helping to pave the way for brighter, hopeful futures. With compassion, large-heartedness, and courage, we provide care, support, and advocacy for those in need.

Our work is driven by a commitment to innovation and responsiveness, as we grow inclusive services that prevent harm, support healing, and address the greatest needs in our communities. We strive to be a leader in developing best practices and advocating for social justice, while deepening our commitment to Aboriginal self-determination, reconciliation, and cultural safety. We prioritize the safety and wellbeing of children, families, volunteers, and staff, ensuring accountable and integrated systems. Our focus also extends to strengthening organisational and financial sustainability to ensure we can continue to make a lasting impact.
