Mission Statement

Marillac is committed to responding to the needs of people who have a disability, and their families.

We believe that every person has a right to develop physically, emotionally, socially, intellectually and spiritually to his or her full human potential.

The service reflects the spirit of the Daughters of Charity, recognising Christ present in all those in need. Modelled on the vision of Louise de Marillac, Marillac endeavours to be an agency which respects and serves those with a disability and those who care for them.

Positioning Statement

"Serving from the heart"

We achieve this by:

  • Actively involving people we support, staff and families in developing services
  • Facilitating the provision of services tailored to individual and group needs
  • Providing opportunities for communication and contact between people we support and broader communities
  • Encouraging initiative and innovation, and providing stimulus for learning and adaptation to a changing social environment
  • Always evaluating our approach and improvements in terms of people we suport and evidence of their health and well-being, learning, social and spiritual opportunities and a sense of optimism in their future.
