Who we are

Juno is a support and advocacy organisation working across Melbourne. We support and empower women, trans, gender diverse people and children across the homelessness and family violence systems. We advocate to raise awareness of the unique they face and change the systems and structures which contribute to gendered poverty, homelessness and family violence.

Our mission: Partnering with women and gender diverse people to support their safety, increase their independence and enable them to thrive.

Our vision: A community where all women and gender diverse people and their children are safe, empowered and thrive.

Our values:

  • Feminism and Intersectionality: We respect the diverse experiences, identities, knowledge and strengths of women and gender diverse people and strive to empower them to realise their full potential.
  • Collaboration and Creativity: We partner with women and gender diverse people to support them to connect to safety and independence. We recognise the inherent strength of working in partnership across the sectors and with communities to deliver our vision.
  • Equity and Justice: We recognise the range of inequities women and gender diverse people face and actively seek to challenge and address these through our service and advocacy. We create spaces and platforms that amplify the diverse voices of those experiencing gender-based poverty. We advocate for gender equity and justice.
  • Courage and Accountability: We strive for our work to be high quality and grounded in evidence to make impactful change. We are accountable to the clients and communities we partner with. We speak up and are willing to take risks and make change.
