About Berry Street
We started out in Melbourne in 1877, as the Berry Street Babies’ Home, caring for abandoned babies and mothers with no shelter or support.
Today we’re one of Australia’s larger child and family services organisations. We continue to help those who have been abused to rebuild their lives, protect those at risk, and find the best ways of preventing abuse from ever happening.
Last financial year, we provided…

children and young people with safe homes
1,052
children with support to help heal trauma
1,967
children and young people with education and training
29,337
