This service offers support to women and children escaping Family and Domestic Violence and experiencing homelessness through Domestic Violence. Support is also provided for homelessness and other crisis, including supplies of bedding, food, clothing and toiletries if needed.
Support, referrals, advocacy and information to those using the service – staff will assist you with information to help you decide about housing, legal and income issues. This service can refer you to other services like a counsellor to discuss your feelings and choices at this time.
Refuge staff are there to help you, NOT tell you what to do.
