Mission to Seafarers

Welcome to Mission to Seafarers, an esteemed institution located at the heart of Australia's bustling Port of Brisbane. Situated on Seafarers Street, our establishment serves as a vital point of interest for seafarers from around the world.

At Mission to Seafarers, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive welfare, pastoral, and spiritual support to over 10,000 seafarers annually. Our commitment extends beyond the confines of the port, reaching ships within the Port of Brisbane, the Seafarers Centre, and the Flying Angel Club situated in the Fisherman Islands port precinct. Additionally, we offer our services at hospitals and other venues as needed.

One of our primary objectives is to ensure the well-being and comfort of seafarers during their time in port. To achieve this, we provide various essential services, including transportation to and from the ships. We understand the importance of staying connected, which is why we offer telephone and internet access, allowing seafarers to communicate with their loved ones and access crucial information.

Our institution also features a convenience and souvenir store, catering to the needs of seafarers during their stay. From everyday essentials to unique mementos, our store offers a range of products to make their time ashore more convenient and memorable.

Recognizing the importance of recreation and spiritual solace, we provide exceptional recreation facilities and a chapel. Seafarers can unwind, relax, and engage in recreational activities, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. Our chapel offers a serene and sacred space for seafarers to seek solace, meditate, or practice their faith.

While our physical premises are located in the Port of Brisbane, we understand the evolving needs of seafarers in the digital age. Therefore, our online shop and chaplaincy services remain available upon request. Whether it's through email or our dedicated Facebook page, seafarers can access our services and connect with our dedicated supervisor, Heather, who can be reached at 0402 127 965.

Mission to Seafarers is proud to be a beacon of support, care, and compassion for seafarers navigating the challenges of life at sea. Join us in our mission to provide comprehensive and holistic support to those who dedicate their lives to maritime endeavors.
