For 160 years Good Shepherd has been supporting women, girls and their families, but we can’t do it without you. Your ongoing support helps to develop innovative programs and services, and advocate for the real, sustained systemic change required to genuinely improve outcomes for women, girls and their families.

Our history in Australia goes back to 1863, when Sister Mary Euphrasia Pelletier sent four Good Shepherd Sisters to Melbourne to support women and children in difficult circumstances. We’ve grown into an organisation that touches lives across the globe, advocating for and supporting women experiencing disadvantage, violence and uncertainty, from all walks of life.

Today, Good Shepherd is the world’s largest and longest-running organisation supporting women and girls, with a presence in 73 countries. Thank you for being part of our journey.
