About Us

MacKillop House provides accommodation for female students in their first year of study at a tertiary institution, apprenticeship or traineeship in the Australian Capital Territory. We aim to provide an environment that cares for the individual student and encourages their endeavours. Preference is given to rural students who are leaving home for the first time.

MacKillop House promotes Christian living with an emphasis on the values of justice, tolerance, respect, personal responsibility, and care – care for one another and the environment in which we live. We foster these values in our encounters with all who live, work and visit this house.

We are committed to supporting young women who are engaged in tertiary studies through the provision of:

  • A safe, clean and friendly environment
  • Facilities supportive of their study needs 
  • Clearly stated expectations regarding responsibilities and behaviour within the house
  • Balanced, nutritious meals and
  • Opportunities to develop skills for communal and independent living.

MacKillop House is a ministry of the Sisters of St Joseph of Goulburn.
