What Is Lily House?
Learn More About Us
We contribute to the formation of a safety net for vulnerable and at-risk young women and their children. Our key partnerships are with organisations such as Integrated Youth and Family Services (IFYS), Child Safety, Re-Focus, WHOS Najara and Qld Housing to provide a joined-up network across the region.
The aim is to provide a home environment where women and children feel safe and nurtured and are provided with wraparound support to heal and grow. Residents are impacted positively by the culture of the house and the values under which it operates with many women becoming part of the sisterhood of the extended Lily House family.

Our Mission Statement
Our Vision
To support and encourage women so they can fulfill their potential of being great mothers who love, cherish, protect, and care for their children in a safe environment enabling them to develop into emotionally healthy and productive adults.
Our Mission
To provide women in crisis with a loving, safe home environment where they can receive support, and training in valuable life skills to empower them in their endeavour to be great mothers who provide their children with strong, stable foundations so they can flourish and live fulfilling lives.
Our Values
Our values are based on Christian principles. We believe in the value of human life and encourage the reunification of families. Therefore, we strive to improve the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of mothers, so they in turn can provide nurture, love and care for their children.
The Lily House Team
We capitalise on the expertise of our volunteers to provide programmes including nutrition, cooking, budgeting, parenting, and craft. We encourage gratitude and self-reliance and residents, as they progress in their healing, are encouraged to give back through volunteering with other community organisations.
