Foundation House - Home of the Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture



Foundation House provides specialised services for refugees who have survived torture and other traumatic experiences prior to arriving in Australia. We offer training to other service providers and professionals in the health, community and education sectors to improve responsiveness to the special needs of refugees. Our course for Counsellors provides counsellors with additional skills for working with refugee survivors of torture and trauma.
