About us

We’re here to provide children and young people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, with the care and support they need to heal and thrive

At Lighthouse, we're creating pathways to end youth homelessness, together.

We provide young people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, with the care and support they need to heal, thrive and achieve a lifelong sense of belonging.

Through community collaboration and our evidence-based Lighthouse Model of Care, we create therapeutic homes and deliver tailored support programs to transform the lives of young people.

Our Lighthouse Homes, Foster and Family Care and In Community care environments ensure our support reaches the children and youth who need it, where they need it, for as long as they need it.

Lighthouse is a registered charity with ATO endorsement for all Tax Concessions. We are non-denominational and independent, as well as accredited to provide homelessness services by the Quality Improvement Council Ltd.

Our
vision

Ending youth homelessness, together.

Our
mission

To provide children and young people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, with the care and support they need to heal and thrive. Through community collaboration and our evidence-based Lighthouse Model of Care, we create therapeutic homes and deliver tailored support programs to transform the lives of young people. We also educate and support foster carers and families in the same way, so they too can care for some of Australia's most vulnerable children.

Our
values

We are respectful, courageous, kind and collaborative.

The Illustration

The child-like illustration was designed by the late artist David Band in 1996, with each element of the home representing a child’s journey in our care.

The Pathway

The pathway to the home is to give a guideline to those in darkness, seeking safety and care, with our door always open to welcome them.

The Windows

The windows show that we keep watch over our society and of our children, with the shining beams radiating from the roof representing the positive life-changing outcomes of our programs, as our young people transition to happy adult lives.

Our Lighthouse Logo

Our logo has a very special meaning for Lighthouse Foundation as it signifies a house of light in which all children can feel loved, safe and supported.
