About
Good Shepherd Services is an Australian non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering women, girls, and families. For over 160 years, they have provided direct services, engaged in systemic advocacy, and developed social enterprises to address poverty, inequality, and social disadvantage.
Giving Philosophy
While primarily a service delivery and advocacy organisation, Good Shepherd's approach is rooted in social justice, gender equality, and financial inclusion. They believe in fostering safe, well, strong, and connected communities by providing support for financial wellbeing, domestic violence prevention, housing, and child safety, often through direct program delivery and strategic partnerships aligned with their mission.
