MacKillop Family Services formally began operations on 1 July 1997.
Its establishment embodies the desire to provide the best possible
services to children and families. It continues the works of
Mercy Family Care Centre North Geelong, St Anthony's Family
Service Footscray, St Augustine's Adolescent & Family
Services Geelong, St Joseph's Babies and Family Services
Glenroy, St Joseph's Homes for Children Flemington, St
Vincent's Boys Home South Melbourne, and St Vincent de Paul
Child & Family Service Black Rock. These founding agencies,
administered by the Sisters of Mercy, the Christian Brothers and
the Sisters of St. Joseph, had themselves evolved over 150 years
of service to children and families in Victoria.
MacKillop Family Services is a Catholic welfare agency guided by
the ethos and spirituality of the Sisters of Mercy, Christian Brothers
and the Sister of St. Joseph. In the spirit of the Gospel, MacKillop
Family Services works together to foster hope in every person by
awakening them to an appreciation of their self-worth.
Through a diversity of programs MacKillop Family Services provides
services to children, young people and families who have particular
needs to empower them to achieve their full potential within the
wider community.
MacKillop Family Services stands for those struggling for justice,
peace and hope. MacKillop Family Services advocates with those on
the margins and raise awareness in our society for justice issues.
