For over 50 years, Family Life has been providing services and support for individuals, children and families when they are experiencing challenges. We believe every family deserves to live in a safe and supportive community. Everything we do supports this through our family and individual support services, community strengthening programs, an engaged volunteer community, passionate skilled staff, and a network of op shops.
As an organisation we celebrate diversity and inclusion. We value, respect, and listen to people who are culturally and/or linguistically diverse, gender and sexually diverse and people with a disability.
Family Life has multiple Community Opportunity Shops located across the Bayside, Mornington Peninsula and Kingston regions of Melbourne. These community-hubs are vibrant spaces, each shop playing an important role in the lives of the community of which they are a part.
