About Us

MacKillop Family Services is one of the largest providers of specialist support services to vulnerable and disadvantaged children, young people and their families in south-eastern Australia.

Services are clustered in 13 programs which are, in turn, grouped into four divisions across Melbourne, Geelong, and from 1 July 2009, western Sydney and Wollongong.

Our service delivery is characterised by five distinct themes:
  • supporting families experiencing disadvantage or crisis;
  • supporting families raising a child with a disability;
  • education and training services for children and young people;
  • services for children and young people who cannot live at home; and
  •  former residents and their families.

With a client base of well over 6,000 children, young people and families annually, MacKillop provides a wide range of services to:

  • 272 children and young people who can’t live at home;
  • 612 children and young people with moderate to severe disabilities;
  • help kids and their families to overcome disadvantage;
  • support ‘at risk’ young people with a suitable mentor; and
  • 217 children and young people with learning difficulties or behavioural concerns who are provided with alternative education.

MacKillop Family Services employs 541 staff and is supported by 400 volunteers.
