Our Vision

Our vision is a world that enables women and children to participate in society on their own terms – empowered to achieve their highest potential. 

Our impact: Women and their children have economic security, safe housing, independence and confidence in a better future. 

Help when they need it most

For over 35 years, McAuley Community Services for Women has helped women, children and young people who have faced family violence and homelessness take control of their lives and build a brighter future.

We work at the intersection of family violence, homelessness and mental health providing 24/7 support, as well as temporary accommodation, independent housing and supported community care.

Of the women and children we support each year, most have experienced family violence and the vast majority are at immediate risk of serious harm through physical and emotional violence, threats, sexual assault and stalking.

Our programs are uniquely holistic, recognising the complexity of the needs and experiences of the individuals we support. We work closely with our partners to provide wraparound care, bringing together health, legal, financial, education, accommodation and recreational responses.
