Blue Door

Blue Door has been an integral part of ‘Ainslie Village’ in Canberra since 1983. Ainslie Village, located in the Canberra suburb of Campbell, is a large community housing site providing accommodation to approximately two hundred people living on very low incomes. The Blue Door is a drop-in centre that provides support such as a free nutritious breakfast and lunch, haircuts, clothing and furniture vouchers, as well as information, advice, advocacy and referrals. These services are delivered in a non-confrontational way and setting, ensuring that Blue Door is a non-threatening, safe and secure place for Ainslie Village and other guests to access these services, relax and socialise. The Blue Door has over two thousand ‘drop ins’ each month. A team of dedicated staff, assisted by committed volunteers, runs the service.
