150th Anniversary Celebrations

On 30 September 2022 at The Assembly Hall in Melbourne, we celebrated our 150th Anniversary.

Reaching 150 years is an extraordinary milestone. Founded almost 30 years before Federation, we are one of Victoria's oldest non-profit organisations. Since 1872, we have continually provided support to people caught in the justice system and their families, constantly evolving to meet the needs of the people we help.

At our 150th Anniversary Celebration, we shared videos featuring a few people who were previously involved with Vacro, including young adults who, as children, participated in Vacro programs, and a former volunteer whose efforts were focused on supporting families.

Follow these links to view the videos:

• Eve Kantor
• Children
• Grandmother.
