St. Mary’s House of Welcome is a purpose driven and faith based organisation. Inspired by the spirit of the Daughters of Charity, St Mary’s House of Welcome seeks to further social justice by standing with disadvantaged people offering support, solutions and hope. We have over 50 years’ experience providing services to people experiencing marginalisation, disadvantage, social isolation and homelessness and have a non-judgmental ‘open door’ service approach to our community. St Mary’s House of Welcome is a place where everyone is welcomed, opportunities for social connection are created, and practical support, structured programs, information and referral are provided.

We work together as a team to provide a safe and supportive environment for service users, volunteers and staff. Key activities and responsibilities include:
