TaskForce was established in 1973 by a group of (volunteer) community members who were concerned about young people, affected by drug use and who were disadvantaged because of unemployment and related problems. They set an organisation mission to break the cycle of addiction and unemployment.
At TaskForce, we believe that the chronic addiction, unemployment and homelessness experienced by our clients are typically the result of deeper, often long-term issues and circumstances. We believe that the key to breaking the cycle in their lives is to start by helping them deal with the circumstances that led to their current situation.
Task Force is committed to offering non-judgmental and non-threatening help to our clients, many of whom have nowhere else to turn. We provide personal support, counselling, support groups, outreach, as well as training and job preparation programmes. These services are designed to increase the client's self-belief and ultimately to help them help themselves.
We believe that when the underlying issues are addressed and then access is provided to the right resources, the cycle of unemployment and addiction is more likely to be broken, effectively and for the long term. Since our humble beginnings 34 years ago TaskForce has changed and grown, and has auspiced other organisations. Today, our core values and mission remain unchanged with a strong focus on work with young people and families experiencing issues with addiction and unemployment. We operate from 6 Metropolitan locations in Melbourne. Our head office remains in Prahran, with offices in Moorabbin, Northcote, Cranbourne, Packenham and Frankston.
