Mallee Accommodation and Support Program

Assisting Our Community

Mallee Accommodation and Support Program (MASP) is a community based organisation with a history of over twenty years service provision to youth, adults and families. A firm theoretical framework informs intervention, and beholds that:

• An adolescent has the right to, and will develop best in, a safe and secure home and family environment, whether that be with the biological family or a placement family;
• Family reunification and/or the continuation of significant relationships, where appropriate, or support in building a home independent of families, if necessary, is important for health and wellbeing;
• Given the appropriate information and support, a young person can be empowered to gain positive control over their life.

The overall aim of MASP is to deliver a coordinated service which facilitates the most appropriate, timely and cost effective support to people in need. MASP is centrally located in Mildura, providing programs under the one roof, improving community access to services and effectiveness of the agency as a 'one-stop' option.

MASP maintains an effective connection with all elements of the broader service system, and actively participates in the further development of necessary community resources and support. Operating from a stable financial base the future viability and sustainability of the organisation is secure. MASP's services are complimented by the effectiveness of a well establish infrastructure, which supports the efficient delivery of all programs.
