The Melbourne City Mission changed its name in 1970 to the Community Welfare Foundation as a reflection of the agency's moves to 'professionalise' its services and to distinguish it from other agencies. However, the change of name was not a total success, causing confusion in the community and a sense of loss of continuity with the agency's historical roots. The name reverted to Melbourne City Mission in 1979.
From around 2000 Melbourne City Mission became known as Melbourne Citymission.
