Our Services

Care

Pastoral care is a key component of the work, ensuring that the spiritual and social needs of seafarers are met.

Welfare

Stella Maris actively engages with the maritime industry, promoting the well-being of seafarers and rendering assistance where possible.

Support

Regardless of nationality, cultural background, religious belief, gender or social standing, all seafarers are welcomed and provided help.

Caring for all Seafarers

The work of Stella Maris is made possible through the dedication of our staff, members and volunteers, together with the generosity and support of the wider community.

As a self-funded, not-for-profit organisation, we rely on community support to continue providing care, practical assistance and a welcoming place of refuge for seafarers visiting Melbourne.

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps us continue our mission.
