Broadening our Horizons
Having established the first Horizon House in Geelong in 1999,
our commitment to vulnerable, at-risk young people has grown
considerably. In 2012 our tenth and eleventh homes will be opened
on the same site – Horizon House
Dianella in Perth’s northern suburbs.
This new service further broadens the reach of St John of God
Horizon House to support the needs of young people with specific
needs – in this instance supporting pregnant young women who want
to take their baby to term in a 
safe, supportive environment.
Diversifying our work has also seen the establishment of
accommodation for Aboriginal young men at Horizon House Broome (WA) and a new transitional
model of accommodation at Horizon House
Warrnambool (Victoria).
Every Horizon House continues to focus on a long term approach
to helping young people with the support they need, in a safe
environment, working towards the life skills needed
for independent living once they leave our care.
