Located in North Melbourne and Kensington, we provide access to services across the City of Melbourne, as well as Kensington and Flemington. Our mission is to promote social justice and the health and wellbeing of the community through advocacy, education and casework. We work with passion, innovation, and collaboration, putting the community at the centre of all that we do.
