Zonta House offers 24/7, refuge accommodation for women over 18, who currently do not have children in their care.
All women are encouraged to engage with our highly skilled Women Advocates and Support Coordinator teams. On entry, women are welcomed by the team and other women in the program. Initial meetings are informal and led by the women. The team build trust, validate the women’s experience, acknowledge the impacts of violence, and explore acts of dignity and resistance. The provision of case management uses a trauma-informed approach by understanding the emotional, physical and social impact of experiencing family and domestic violence. The teams work alongside the women to develop an individual plan to strengthen their existing capacity and support healing and recovery. Staff also provide resources, advocacy, information and warm referrals to specialist services, all of which are key to the woman’s desired outcomes.
