Meli Information

Meli is a Victorian not-for-profit committed to strengthening communities through supporting people. We offer a unique combination of services to support members of our community throughout their lifetime, from early childhood through to adolescence and adulthood. Meli’s heritage and unique combination of services allow for an insightful approach to wellbeing. Using our breadth and depth of expertise to innovate and contribute to our community through preventative, strengthening programs. Everyone faces challenges occasionally, and Meli is here to lend compassionate help, and to take a preventative and early response approach – no matter how big or small a problem.
