The Prahran Mission has been making lives easier in our local community since the 1940s. Partially Government funded, and run by a collaboration of Uniting Care and many hardworking generous individuals, the Mission relies heavily on the good will of our local community in supporting many of our fellow citizens get by at a grass roots level, on a day to day basis, 365 days a year.

The Prahran Mission’s vision is simple - Every person with a mental illness or living with extreme economic and social disadvantage has the right to a decent life. This vision is combined with an associated mission in the community to partner with those who have or have had a mental illness or experience extreme social and economic disadvantage in order to facilitate a full and meaningful life. Prahran Mission achieves this through the provision of services that are grounded in our values and by effecting beneficial social change that creates opportunities for meaningful participation in society. Prahran Mission works to address those attitudes, institutions and policies which create and perpetuate inequality.

With the careful collaboration of skilled professionals and community volunteers, the Mission has a range of programmes in place to implement positive support to those in need: Retail Operations, Home based out reach, Employment and Training, Community and Aged Care and Day Rehabilitation. Donations of Homewares, clothing and time are perpetually welcomed by the busy team here in Prahran, who work day in day out in providing a consistent and regulated service to those at a disadvantage.
