Our Services

Anglicare Victoria is the state’s leading provider of out-of-home care services for children and young people. We are dedicated to providing many kinds of alternative homes for those unable to live with their families and ensure they are safe and nurtured. We welcome those interested in joining our foster care program.

Every family needs help from time to time. Our specialist teams and group sessions empower families to achieve better decision making, whatever they are facing.

Staying connected to education is critical for young people’s long-term independence. We create and deliver innovative and specialised programs in and outside of the classroom, ensuring children living in our care and the broader community reach their highest potential.

We understand family violence and offer safe and confidential help. We provide a range of programs for adults and adolescents who perpetrate family violence, with a primary focus on keeping families safe.

We know the impact that alcohol and drugs can have on families. Our dedicated staff and effective programs empower many families to overcome their challenges.

Working with families, partners, and government, we deliver proven support that makes a real difference. Our diverse services provide homes, education, specialist counselling and expert understanding to empower lasting change.

When life gets tough, we are here to help. We welcome families and young people seeking emergency relief or emotional support in times of hardship—no matter what they’re going through.

Our financial counselling services are available to anyone having a hard time with money — be that debt, job loss, insurance claims, fines, or just feeling out of control. We offer free and confidential financial information, advice and advocacy.

With deep connections into local communities, we provide a diverse range of programs, places and partnerships to meet and support local needs.

Anglicare Victoria was formed in 1997 following the amalgamation of three founding agencies: the Mission of St James and St John; St John’s Home for Boys and Girls; and the Mission to the Streets and Lanes.
