We support women and their children who want to be safe from family violence by providing 24/7 crisis support and temporary accommodation.
We operate crisis accommodation for women and children who need to immediately escape family violence. The women needing our support have experienced, or are at immediate risk, of serious harm: through physical and emotional violence, threats, sexual assault, and stalking. Our crisis accommodation is accessible 24/7, and provides secure and immediate housing, typically for seven to 10 days.
Our refuges provide longer-term safe accommodation for families escaping violence who are still at risk and have nowhere else safe to go.
Our outreach support also extends to women living in refuges, transitional housing or their homes.
