Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe place where women’s basic needs are met, a community in which to heal and the support to empower women to rebuild their lives.
Our Story
Started in 1999 at our terrace in Kings Cross, Lou’s Place is a unique, community-based refuge for women in crisis, feeling isolated or needing support.
Most of the women who visit Lou’s Place have experienced multiple traumas in their lives and the majority are facing issues of homelessness, domestic violence, mental health or addiction.
Lou’s Place receives no government funding and relies on the generous support of our friends, donors and corporate partners.
