Melbourne Citymission is widely recognised as a leader and innovator in the provision of services to the community. Established by the Churches of Melbourne in 1854, Melbourne Citymission as a non-denominational organisation that provides assistance to thousands of Victorians of many faiths and cultures, who are disadvantaged, isolated and vulnerable. Providing a hand up not a hand out, supporting people to take charge of their own lives and participate fully in community life, remains the focus of Melbourne Citymission's work.
Our service areas include:
- Children, Youth, Adult & Family
- Disability
- Employment, Education & Training
- Homelessness
- Aged Care
- Palliative Care

Melbourne Citymission will work closely with people living with a disability, their carers and service providers to form online communities on the My Connected Community website. The groups will be set up to provide people living with a disability the opportunity for social interaction, participation and to learn new skills. Groups may be set up for carers to support information sharing and to reduce isolation, carers of children with a rare disability may also which to set up specialised disability support groups. Initially the groups will involve Melbourne Citymission clients from the North West of Melbourne but the groups may be made available to others once they are established.
