Welcome to McAuley Community Services for Women
McAuley Community Services for Women provides accommodation, support and advocacy for women and their children who are homeless, resulting primarily from family violence or mental illness.
McAuley Community Services for Women works collaboratively with Governments and other organisations to advocate on behalf of, and plan services for these women and their children.
McAuley Community Services for Women was formed in August 2008 by the Sisters of Mercy Melbourne Congregation to expand its commitment to women and children and to incorporate its two existing long-term services:
- Mercy Care - A 24 hour safe house and children's program providing accommodation and support for women and their children who have experienced family violence (est. 1988).
- Regina Coeli - Medium-term community accommodation for women who have experienced homelessness and mental illness (est. 1986).
McAuley Community Services for Women is committed to advocate for a better, safer and just society.
