Our Mission, Vision and Values

McAuley Community Services for Women is a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy Melbourne Congregation, impelled by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and enriched by the spirituality of Catherine McAuley, the founder of the Sisters of Mercy.

Our mission is to provide accommodation, services, advocacy and support for homeless women, and women and their accompanying children, who experience family violence.

Through our service, McAuley Community Services for Women is committed to advocate for a better, safer and just society.

McAuley Community Services for Women is committed to:

  • Hospitality,
  • Compassion,
  • Justice, and
  • Community.

In our daily lives we offer women the opportunity for empowerment in their own lives.
