Jewish House Information

For over 40 years, Jewish House has provided 24/7 crisis support to individuals and families across Greater Sydney, helping people navigate some of life's most difficult moments. Rooted in Jewish values and open to everyone, we support people of all backgrounds, faiths and cultures experiencing homelessness, domestic and family violence, mental health challenges, addiction, trauma, financial hardship and other crises. Our multidisciplinary team provides immediate, practical and compassionate support, responding quickly to stabilise a crisis while helping people access the services and pathways they need to move forward. We often describe our role as an emergency department for social, emotional and practical crises, responding when people need help most. Each year, we assist thousands of people through crisis accommodation, case management, mental health and addiction services, advocacy, practical assistance and referrals to longer-term support. Beyond responding to immediate need, we work to prevent future crises by helping people rebuild stability, independence and resilience. Everything we do is guided by the Jewish values of compassion, dignity and respect. We believe that crisis can affect anyone, and that everyone deserves access to support when they need it most. 24 hours a day. Seven days a week. We're here when it matters most.
