Windermere is an independent community service organisation working across 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.

I am on the lookout now too - next time I am in a relationship, I will be able to recognise the signs of domestic violence and I won’t let myself get stuck in that sort of position again.”

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.
Read moreWhat is the NDIS? NDIS is a generational reform that focuses on a person centred system of support. The scheme will aim to provide a person with a permanent or significant disability access to reasonable and necessary supports to achieve their goals and participate in social and economic life.
