About Us:

Life’s made of moments. Anglicare Victoria faces them head on. Moments of crisis, moments of change, moments of magic. Moments that make up the everyday, or change the course of a person’s life. Some are quiet, some are loud. Some are happy, some are sad. Whether fire or flood. Belief or despair. Joy or grief. We’re there.

Day in, day out, vulnerable people and families lean on Anglicare Victoria through these moments - from childhood to parenthood, and all the messy bits in between.
