Crisis Accommodation and Housing Support

Women and Children’s Refuge

Our refuge provides safe and secure short-term crisis accommodation for single women and women with children.

At the refuge, each single woman or woman with children is allocated their own room. Living areas, bathrooms and kitchen facilities are shared. A wheelchair-accessible room is also available.

Staff are on site 8:30am to 5pm Monday to Friday to provide case management and support. Staff are also on call for emergencies outside of business hours.

We have a dedicated Child and Family worker available as well as Aboriginal and CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) staff available to provide specialist support.

There is a fee for staying at the refuge, however this may be waived if individual circumstances require.

Monday-Friday 8:30am-5:00pm and after-hours on-call
