More than 100 programs and services are run by the St Vincent de Paul Society NSW throughout the state. Now, a further three are a part of our service offering!

Two new homelessness and housing services will support women and families in North Sydney and Swansea, while our health services have expanded after taking over operations of a residential rehabilitation service in Bucca, located north of Coffs Harbour.

Mercy House is a domestic and family violence refuge, offering three and four-bedroom homes located close to local services, shops and schools in North Sydney. Single women and women with children will be able to reside in transitional accommodation at Mercy House for up to 18 months as they strive to regain stability in their lives in a safe, dignified and family-friendly environment.

In Swansea, a 32-bedroom former aged care facility now supports vulnerable people and their dependants in Newcastle and the Central Coast in need of housing, including women over 55, First Nations women over 50, and women over 18 who receive the Disability Support Pension.

Adele House was developed by the PAYCE Foundation in Bucca, north of Coffs Harbour, as a 40-bed purpose-built drug and alcohol residential rehabilitation facility. In taking over operations of Adele House following a successful tender, the Society has also been accredited as a drug court provider, offering people the opportunity to seek rehabilitation for minor substance use issues as an alternative to incarceration. As part of the support offered at Adele House, a work skills program is offered for residents to support their rehabilitation journeys.

By expanding our services, and with the support of generous donors, the Society can ensure that more people receive high quality, holistic and person-centred care so they can go on to lead thriving lives.
