“First Step did what no other organisation could do for me. I felt I was seen for the first time.” – Emma

At First Step, every person deserves to feel seen, heard and supported, no matter what challenges they’re facing.

Your donation today helps people living with trauma, substance use and mental ill-health to access free, wraparound care - doctors, psychologists, lived-experience workers, nurses and lawyers - all under one roof in St Kilda.

Right now, every dollar you give will be matched and doubled by a generous local supporter, helping your kindness go twice as far.

Together, we can build a future where everyone has the opportunity to live well, be safe and feel supported.

Your generosity helps us provide free, integrated care for people who need it most - right here in our community.

Please note: 

We will never call to ask you for a donation or for your bank account details.  If you think you have provided your account details to a fake charity, contact your bank or financial institution immediately.
