The Orange Door and Upper Murray Family Care

Strengthening families and individuals to build vibrant communities.

A key recommendation of the Royal Commission and the Roadmap for Reform was to establish a network of Support and Safety Hubs (The Orange Door) across Victoria to provide a new way for women, children and young people experiencing family violence, and families in need of support with the care, development and wellbeing of children and young people, to access coordinated support from community, health and justice services.

We are an independent, non-government, community-managed agency offering a range of quality services that are responsive to the varying needs of communities extending from the cities of Albury/Wodonga, Wangaratta and Benalla to townships throughout the Towong, Mansfield, Alpine and Indigo shires. By providing information, support and advocacy, we seek to empower individuals, families and community groups and contribute to a balanced, just and ethical society. We have partnered with 5 other local providers in the area to deliver the key recommendations as outlined in the Royal Commission and the Roadmap for Reform.

In all we do, we commit to and enact our values of participation, respect, excellence, justice, and honesty.
