We provide specialist support and housing services in the Port Macquarie Hastings region
We help families through all stages of their journey towards safety. From helping a woman in the peak of crisis secure a safe place to stay, through to supporting her as she navigates the various services available.
We also work towards eliminating domestic and family violence by providing prevention and education programs in the local community.
What we do
"The way you have treated me has given me the inspiration to stand on my own two feet when I was down on the floor. Every second of help and support has empowered me, given me hope, strengthened my spirit and opened the door for me to follow my own path."
How we do it
Since 1980 we’ve supported local women and families affected by domestic and family violence and homelessness.
Our vision is a community where women and children are empowered and safe from domestic and family violence.
Our people are passionate about preventing, recognising and responding to domestic and family violence.
