The Centre for Women’s Safety and Wellbeing welcomes the Cook Labor Government’s investment in expanding the Safe at Home program with eight new locations around Western Australia. We are also thrilled to see that every Safe at Home will receive $35,350 in brokerage.
Safe housing is foundational to the safety, reestablishment and recovery of women and children experiencing family and domestic violence. Safe at Home programs provide a wrap-around service response that prevents homelessness, promotes safety and wellbeing and mitigates the financial, social, and emotional disruption associated with housing relocation.
We look forward to continuing to work with the Government and other stakeholders to create robust, integrated and long-term strategies that address housing and economic insecurity. Women’s and children’s long-term safety, health and wellbeing depend on it.
