Mackillop Family Services

MacKillop Family Services exists to support, to foster hope and to promote justice for children, young people and their families, particularly those who experience distress, disadvantage and abuse. 

The programs we deliver include foster care and residential care, disability services, youth support, education and training, family support, refugee services and support to women and men who, as children, were in the care of our founding agencies.

Advocacy and support providing opportunities for children in care to connect with each other. Activities, programs, training and advice improving the care system. 

Programs including clubCREATE which is about belonging, feeling connected, reducing social isolation, making friends and having fun. Members receive a welcome pack, quarterly newsletters, invitations to events, and a birthday card each year. See website link for further information
