Partnering with the Caroline Chisholm Society

Partner with us

Partnering with the Caroline Chisholm Society offers a meaningful way to strengthen support for vulnerable women, children, and families across the western suburbs of Melbourne. Through partnerships, your contribution helps us deliver essential material aid, pregnancy support, and pathways to long‑term wellbeing. Together with our partners, we create safer beginnings, stronger families, and a more supported community.

Our work is grounded in dignity, safety, and practical care. For more than 50 years, we’ve supported women and families experiencing hardship, isolation, or vulnerabilites. By partnering with us, you help expand vital services such as:

Material aid support for children aged 0-5
Pregnancy and early parenting assistance
Perinatal mental health support
Housing advocacy
Community outreach across the Goulburn Valley

Without the support of Government, Philanthropic Trust and Foundations and Community Partners we could not do the work we do.

Government funding 85% supports our in home visitation programs for our families

Fundraising and donations, and other grants, funds our material aid program, perinatal mental health program, First 1000 Days Program and GV Pregnancy Support Service (Shepparton)

80% program delivery expenses

20% admin, communication and IT expenses and operating costs

Since the governing body was founded in 2012, every year charities in Australia provide their annual expenses in an Annual Information Statement to the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). You can find us listed here: Caroline Chisholm Society ACNC listing
