Brophy have been supporting children, young people, families and the south west Victorian community for almost 50 years. We live here; this is our community, we believe in people and in their ability to create the life they want.
For Children
Brophy is the only local, south west Victorian provider of out-of-home care. Our Foster Care, Kinship Care and Residential Care Services provide children and young people who are unable to live with their own families, a safe and secure place to live.
For Young People
We work alongside young people, recognising that is their skills, talents and dreams that matter when supporting them to create the life they want and for them to be connected to their peers and community in meaningful ways.
Our supports for young people cover areas including health, wellbeing, mental health, AoD , education and employment, accommodation support, and family reconciliation. We also have post care support services, programs for young parents and support programs for our LGBTIQA+ communities.
For Families
At Brophy we recognise that families come from a diverse range of backgrounds and have a wealth of strengths, skills and experiences they can bring to assist us with supporting them have every opportunity to thrive.
We have services and programs to assist families with parenting, mental health, drug and alcohol issues, family violence and housing support.

We offer support for accommodation services including temporary and permanent housing options.
