Shoalhaven Women’s Homelessness and Domestic and Family Violence Support Service

This service supports single women and women with accompanying children, including young women ages 16 to 24 years old, who are escaping domestic and family violence and are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

It provides early intervention, crisis and transitional accommodation, and intensive responses for clients with complex needs. Women are assisted to address their housing and support needs, and linked with other service providers.  Post-crisis support is also provided to help clients resolve any issues that caused their homelessness in order to prevent future episodes.

This service has a strong focus on Aboriginal women and families, and women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

This service includes a women’s refuge:

• Nowra Women and Children's Refuge.
