Foundation 61 provides a live-in community on the outskirts of Geelong, offering hope and direction for people dealing with life controlling issues. These issues are often, but not exclusively, associated with the use of drugs and alcohol.

Foundation 61 was inspired by the vision of the Old Testament prophet Isaiah for a new world order in which those excluded from mainstream society could once again find their place.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from the darkness the prisoners.”

We provide an individually focused rehabilitation program for people with life controlling issues. Our residential program includes full board in a safe and secure residence with onsite staff offering 24 hour support. Our holistic approach aims to support participants on their journey to full recovery. We provide a variety of resources and life skills to assist individuals to rebuild their broken life.
