Windermere is an independent community service organisation working across south east Victoria to help those who need it most. Since our beginning more than 150 years ago, we have been working to create a stronger, more connected and supported community.
Our support comes in many forms as we work together to find the right solutions for the many and varied complex issues faced by children, families and individuals in our community.
Our aim is to get in early by providing programs and services within these primary areas:
Whilst we receive funding for some services from state and federal governments, others are funded solely by donors and sponsors to whom we are truly grateful.
We believe that everyone is someone in our community and that is reflected in our approach with those we work with everyday.
Windermere is committed to protecting the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people.
Windermere staff joined the recent ‘Say NO to Family Violence’ campaign. November was family Violence Prevention month, a time for reflection by all. Early prevention and intervention is key and we all have a responsibility to raise awareness of the impact family violence has on so many in our local community.

For consumers who currently participate in State or Federal programs, it’s important to understand that those programs will continue until you start your NDIS plan. Until that time it's important to understand how Windermere will respond and how that affects you.
