Welcome to MacKillop Family Services one of the largest providers of services to children, young people and families in Victoria, Australia.

Australia is a lucky country and increasingly a wealthy country. At least that's what you read in the newspapers.
But there is another side to this prosperity. At MacKillop, we see the other side of the coin - despair, poverty and great tragedy.

One of the people we have been helping over the last couple of years is a young woman named Paula.  To read about her story, click here.

We use volunteers as much as possible to help stretch our funding, but we can’t do the impossible. Our services operate from a family-centred approach as we build upon strengths. To help Paula and the numerous others MacKillop reaches, Please donate now.

Our ongoing commitment to people is demonstrated through our Heritage & Information Service. It has been set up to assist former residents of the orphanages run by our founding agencies, their siblings and their family members. Read more...
