Our case workers are available on-site – no appointment needed. They take the time to listen, understand what’s going on, and help connect women to the right supports.

Support may include:

  • Crisis support and immediate assistance
  • Warm referrals to other services
  • Internal referral to case management and ongoing support
  • Assistance with housing, health, safety, and other needs
  • Support to attend appointments or court appearances where capacity allows
  • Support with fines, bills & debt

How We Work

We know it can be difficult to navigate different services or know where to start. Our team helps make this easier by walking alongside women, advocating where needed, and providing non-judgemental support in a safe and familiar environment.

Women can drop in at any time during opening hours – whether for a meal, a conversation, specialised support, or just to hang out.
