About Samaritans

From our beginnings as a crisis youth refuge in 1981, to where we are today, our purpose has remained clear – to empower those within our community to reach their full potential and to support them towards a positive future.

Samaritans is here to support people in their early years of life through our work in foster care, family support and preservation. We are here to enrich and empower people’s lives through our disability support and mental health programs.

When people are in crisis due to experiences such as domestic violence and homelessness, Samaritans is there.

When hardship or loss means there’s not enough food to put on the table, Samaritans is there.

When people want to rebuild their lives, including those exiting prison and people with gambling addiction, Samaritans is there.

Samaritans is here for everyone. People are diverse, and so are we.
