Our Mission
Founded in 2013, Southlake Community Services was established to help vulnerable and marginalised individuals facing hardship. We started by helping 18 people in our first week. Today, we support thousands of people every week across Australia through our comprehensive outreach programs.
We are committed to uplifting lives, fostering a sense of belonging for all, and working with unwavering dedication and compassion to alleviate hardship, promote dignity, and empower individuals and families to thrive.
