Who We Are

Research Led

Evidence informs the services we deliver for our clients and community. Research partnerships are critical to our mission.

A legacy of care

Founded at Government House in 1896 by Sybil de Vere Brassy, we are proudly independent. Our commitment to community care in Victoria spans 125 years.

Our Vision

Our vision is to see all children and young people thrive in resilient, strong and safe families and communities.

We are validated as human beings and as parents, and we’re heard. Something I think a lot of us had never had been before."
