Each year, Foundation House makes a positive difference to the lives of more than 5,000 people of refugee background, their families and their communities by:

​

• Providing services to clients in the form of counselling, advocacy, family support, group work, psycho-education, information and complementary therapies.

• Working with client communities to improve their capacity to access the services they need and to enable them to support recovery.

• Offering professional and organisational development, consultancy and resources to assist health, education, employment and other community service providers to enhance the responsiveness of their services to the needs of people of refugee background.

• Working with the Commonwealth and Victorian governments to ensure that policies and programs have proper regard to the needs of people of refugee background.

• Conducting, and contributing to, research regarding the needs of people of refugee background, and the best possible ways of addressing those needs.
