Fusion is a Christian youth and community organisation which emerged as a creative response to socially-at-risk young people in Australia in 1960. Today, Fusion has over 200 staff and thousands of volunteers in 20 teams and centres around Australia. While it began its work among youth, the importance of a healthy and caring community to nurture each new generation has led Fusion into extensive community work in Australia and beyond. Fusion’s services focus on community building and helping people find a sense of belonging and purpose. The work of Fusion in Geraldton began in 1983 and is focussed around providing accommodation and housing services for people in need. Since our humble beginnings in a derelict guesthouse in the main street, the services have grown to include purpose built, government funded accommodation and support services for people experiencing mental illness, and include plans for the construction of a new accommodation village in the heart of Geraldton.
