Ozanam House Shortlisted for 2024 Melbourne Award!

We’re thrilled to announce that this year VincentCare’s Ozanam House has been shortlisted for a 2024 Melbourne Award. Presented by the City of Melbourne, these awards celebrate individuals and organisations who contribute to making our city inclusive, innovative, and future-focused.



This year, Ozanam House was nominated under the LGBTIQA+ category, acknowledging our dedication to supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals facing homelessness or housing insecurity. This recognition highlights our commitment to developing culturally safe, inclusive, and supportive services specifically designed for the LGBTQIA+ community.



Our Rainbow Tick accreditation journey has been a significant enabler in these efforts, reflecting the vision and mission of The St Vincent de Paul Victoria. This accreditation is an essential part of our service approach, affirming our commitment to address the disproportionate challenges of exclusion, discrimination, and the resulting vulnerability to homelessness faced by the LGBTQIA+ community.



And a huge congratulations to the winners of the category this year, QueerTown, and all the other incredible people who were a part of this celebration of Melbourne’s inclusivity, creativity and forward-thinking!
