Important COVID-19 Update

Foundation House is committed to maintaining service continuity in this challenging COVID-19 environment. With the Melbourne metropolitan area and Mitchell Shire returning to Stage 3 restrictions, it is more important than ever that we remain steadfast in our commitment to our clients and their communities.

Our core commitments continue to be:

  • To adjust our approach and utilise new resources and techniques to continue delivering our suite of programs
  • To safeguard the health and wellbeing of our staff
  • To contribute to the wider community effort in reducing the transmission rate of the coronavirus.

Services for clients

We continue to receive referrals and continue to deliver counselling and advocacy, mostly by phone and video-conference and, when essential and safe to do so, face-to-face sessions in line with governmental advice for mental health services.
