We've been here for 40 years.
40 years ago, in 1981, life was tough for families, Australia was in a downturn heading towards the 1982-83 recession, a recession that hit Newcastle particularly hard.
Many families found themselves under enormous pressure, which unfortunately left many children in dire circumstances. In response to this need a group of concerned locals opened The Lake Macquarie Youth Refuge, known as ‘Allambi House’.

A lot has happened in 40 years, including several name changes - Allambi Youth Services Inc. between 2001-2015 and since then, Allambi Care.
Today, Allambi Care has grown into an organisation that serves individuals, families, communities and government agencies to care for the most vulnerable people in our society. Our services are flexible and characterised by best practice, and we continue to be committed to empowering people to reach their full potential.
