Who are we?

Drummond street services is a Victorian-based not-for-profit which was established in 1887 to engage with the community and help families throughout every stage of life. Since then, our program offering has grown, and we have expanded to six locations across the state.

With a history that traverses more than a century, we are one of the longest serving welfare organisations in Victoria, and one of the first family relationship centres in Australia.

Driven by the purpose to promote well-being for life, we work directly with our clients on education, early intervention and specialist support for people of all ages and backgrounds.

What do we do?

Our programs are tailored to suit the needs of each person or family, covering:

  • Relationship counselling
  • Intensive family support
  • Parenting support – for both new parents or newly separated
  • Mental health programs for parents and kids
  • Queerspace – support for the LGBTIQ community

How to talk about us

We are an independent, not-for-profit that engages with similar organisations to deliver quality mental health support for families across various stages of life, from prevention and early intervention through to treatment and recovery.

We also engage in applied research to investigate what approaches work best, sharing that information to inform policy and advocacy across the sector.

We are not a one-size-fits-all provider – just as every person is different, so too is how we assist them.

We help people from all walks of life, at any point they may need it.

We deliver a range of support services across six locations in Victoria. We also promote our purpose of well-being for life through our two, free mobile apps.
