Goodna Street Life is changing how it delivers support. This page explains our current locations and the distinction between Goodna Street Life, Haven Collective and Helens Haven Inc.
Goodna Street Life Inc
Goodna Street Life Inc and Helens Haven Inc are two separate charities. As management changes, the foodbank at 9 Layard Street, Goodna is being transferred to Helens Haven Inc. Goodna Street Life retains its Op Shop at Shop 7 and its office at Shop 8, 5 Smiths Road, Goodna.
Our current work centres on housing information, practical aid, crisis and domestic violence support, AOD programs, art therapy, training and placements. We currently have no housing or crisis accommodation available.

Haven Collective
Haven Collective is the online retail brand of the Goodna Street Life Op Shop. It brings together preloved shopping, donated goods and community retail opportunities to support our work.
Haven Collective and Helens Haven Inc are different. Similar names do not mean the same organisation.

Understanding older stories
“Helens Haven” was historically used for GSL's accommodation and community programs. References in old news articles and banners describe those earlier services. They do not establish an association with today's separate Helens Haven Inc charity or mean accommodation is available now.
