Good Samaritan Inn (GSI) is a respected community organisation providing crisis and transitional accommodation for women, gender diverse people and children experiencing family violence and homelessness. Inspired by a mission of compassion and justice, GSI delivers trauma-informed, high-quality care and actively engages in advocacy and sector partnerships.

Over recent years, the organisation has undergone considerable growth. With further expansion planned—including a new purpose-built facility and a diversifying service model. GSI requires a CEO who can lead both day-to-day operations and the long-term strategic direction of the organisation.
