Family support

The Family Services team at Meli provides a range of support services to families

Typically, the type of support provided is in relation to parenting skills, mental health, drug and alcohol issues, family violence, housing and child protective issues.

To access Family Services support, referrals are typically made through the Orange Door at 83 Moorabool Street, Geelong, or by phoning the Orange Door on 1800 312 820. Please note the Orange Door may send your referral through to a number of Family Service agencies in Geelong, and so if you would like for Meli to provide this support to you it is important to communicate this to the Orange Door.
