The Mission to Seafarers Victoria

More Information

The Mission to Seafarers Victoria (MtSV) has operated from its heritage-listed building at Flinders Street in Melbourne’s Docklands since 1917.

Australia relies on shipping and seafarers to connect to the world and to bring goods to homes for the economy to thrive, and for the health of this island nation. MtSV provides welfare services to support the tireless work, isolation and hardships faced by those seafarers.

Open daily to the public from 12pm, and with a fully licensed bar, the recently renovated building is architecturally significant and is considered a fine urban example of a merging of the ‘Arts and Crafts’ and ‘Spanish Mission Revival’ architectural styles in Melbourne.

Visitors are encouraged to take a self-guided tour through the building’s collection of stories of Melbourne’s maritime history, and to explore the Norla Dome, learn the history of the Chapel, peak inside long-lost nooks and discover the hidden cottage garden and Spanish-style courtyard.
