MacKillop Family Services Bendigo 56 Queen Street, Bendigo, Victoria 3550

Welcome to MacKillop Family Services Bendigo, located on Queen Street, 56. As an establishment that focuses on health and is a point of interest, we are proud to introduce our new MacKillop Seasons brand and website. Our goal is to deliver renowned Seasons for Growth programs that provide support and education on change, loss, and grief to communities across Australia and internationally.

At MacKillop, we believe that foster caring is one of the most important and rewarding roles you can play in your community. That's why we urgently need foster carers in Victoria, New South Wales, and Western Australia. By becoming a foster carer, you can make a significant difference in a child's life.

We actively support a constitutionally enshrined Voice to the Commonwealth Parliament, as articulated by the Uluru Statement from the Heart. This commitment reflects our dedication to advocating for the rights of all children and families.

Your gift today can have a profound impact on a child's life. By supporting MacKillop, you can help a child heal from past trauma and provide them with the opportunity to develop to their full potential in a supportive and nurturing family.

Volunteers are a vital part of our team, as they provide valuable support that complements the work of our staff. If you're interested in making a unique contribution to our cause, we encourage you to join our team of dedicated volunteers.

Our people are one of our greatest assets, and we value their contributions immensely. Check out our upcoming opportunities and discover the many benefits we offer our staff.

At MacKillop Family Services, we are committed to working for the rights of all children to enjoy their childhood in a safe and loving home. We believe in providing a nurturing environment where children have a sense of belonging and cultural identity.

We understand the importance of supporting vulnerable families in our communities. That's why we provide essential support to those who need it the most.

Empowering children, young people, and families is at the core of our mission. We aim to help them heal from past trauma and provide the necessary resources for them to reach their full potential.

We recognize that young people learn best when they feel safe and supported. Our programs are designed to assist those who have become disengaged from education to reconnect with learning.

We also offer tailored services to support children and young people with disabilities and their families. As a registered NDIS provider, we strive to build confidence and encourage independence.

Our Heritage and Information Service is dedicated to helping individuals seeking information about Catholic homes and orphanages. We provide a search and support service to assist in their journey.

Through our family therapy services, we have witnessed incredible transformations. Evelyn*, for example, was navigating the collective traumas of her three children when she first came to us. With our support, she was able to find stability and healing for her family.

Callum, another success story, was struggling with violent behaviors that prevented him from attending school regularly. Thanks to our trauma-informed classroom and structured environment at MacKillop Education, Callum quickly began to thrive.

Lastly, we want to share the inspiring story of Aleisha, a young Aboriginal woman who has shown incredible determination and positivity. Despite facing significant challenges in her life, she has found hope and support through our services.

At MacKillop Family Services Bendigo, we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children, young people, and families. Join us in our mission to create a brighter future for those in need.
