Hope Lives Here

At BaptistCare HopeStreet, we seek to transform the lives of people in our communities who are living with disadvantage or experiencing great personal trials.

Delivering support services that are person-centred and tailored to meet local needs, our approach at HopeStreet is deeply rooted in our People First philosophy. We respect and care for each person as a valued individual, placing their health and wellbeing above all else.

Our wide range of services supports individuals and families to navigate challenging times, such as homelessness, accessing affordable food, domestic violence, long-term unemployment, relationship breakdown, mental health issues, or addiction. We also walk alongside people who are caught in a cycle of poverty and debt, often with diminished opportunities to break free and live well.

How We Help

Homelessness

The stories we hear tell us that relationship breakdowns, having no support system, poverty and financial crisis, domestic and family violence, mental health and the chronic shortage of affordable housing all contribute to homelessness.

Domestic Violence

We see that women and their children are living in distress every day, terrorised and vulnerable through manipulation, control and fear. We want to play our part in the change that is needed.

Women's Spaces

Our Women’s Spaces are about increasing a woman’s sense of belonging, as well as using their professional skill sets to increase their choices, their safety, health and wellbeing.

Affordable Food

Affordable housing, sky-rocketing bills, and now food, is a serious issue for individuals and families, whether they are living on the margins or the working poor.

Fair Finance

We support low-income earners by providing small loans with absolutely no interest, fees, charges or penalties, and offer budgeting skills and financial literacy to empower our clients to make informed financial decisions.

Stronger Families

Positive relationships have the power to transform lives, but every single one of us knows just how complicated things can be.

“I have a home. Henry has his own space now… He’s a much happier child.”

A month before Christmas, housing came through. Facing an empty house, Jana recalls Lucy being more stressed than she’d ever seen her. “She was like, okay, I have a house, but I have nothing. At the refuge she at least had a bed.” Jana and our team provided Lucy and Henry with everything they could.

Lucy is full of gratitude and is now able to actively participate in life, rather than worrying about where she and her son will sleep at night. She’s also studying a business course.

“I have a home. Henry has his own space now. He’s spending time in the lounge room with me. He’s playing with his Lego. We’ve adopted a cat which has been good for him. He’s a much happier child.”

“Beyond the practical help, Jana and the team have been my friends and my support network. Just having HopeStreet to fill in that gap and be my family for a little while has made such a difference.”
