Mallee Family Care was established in August 1979 in response to the needs of the communities of north west Victoria and south west New South Wales.

The approach to achieve this is through provision of assistance to families and community in guiding and supporting them into more fulfilling and meaningful lives, in turn benefiting the community as a whole. Currently Mallee Family Care's offers more than 60 programs to the community, ranging from Family services, Finance and Legal Counselling, Early Years Programs, Disability and Mental Health Programs support, Research and Education.
