About Us
Marillac House offers people with a disability, and their families, a wide range of programs and services designed to meet the needs of each individual. We focus our services mainly on the needs of children and young adults who have an intellectual disability.
Our services are based in Melbourne’s south east, and we currently support about 120 people and their families. Marillac House has been operating since 1943.
What's the philosophy behind Marillac House?
We believe that every person has a right to develop physically, emotionally, socially, intellectually and spiritually to his or her full human potential. That is the basis of all our services.
We measure our success by how well each person using our services feels their expressed wishes and needs are being met.
Who runs Marillac House?
Experienced, specialist management and staff provide our services. Marillac House is administered by a Board of Directors with wide experience in disability services, education, finance and other relevant fields. The company of Marillac House is owned by the Daughters of Charity.
Our activities are funded by the Victorian Government, private donations, fees and the Daughters of Charity.
Who decides what services a client needs?
Each person who wants to use our services begins by telling us what they want. Then we work together to develop programs and services to meet their wishes and needs.
People are encouraged to involve friends and family in this process if they want to.
What does it cost to use the services?
For residential accommodation, we charge standard monthly fees to cover food and board.
A range of support services to help people living independently in the community are provided free of charge.
Please talk to us about current charges for the services that interest you.
