Supported Refuge Accommodation

Unfortunately no visitors are permitted at the refuge due to confidentiality and safety of the refuge location and for all women accessing safe accommodation.

While there is a cost associated with staying in our accommodation, we understand that financial circumstances can vary.

Our priority is to ensure that all women have access to the support they need, regardless of their financial situation.  Please speak to one of our team to discuss your individual circumstance 24/7 1800 870 149 option 1 or 2.

All women will have their own bedroom. All other facilities, including communal areas such as kitchen, living room, and some bathrooms are shared among residents.

One of our refuges is fully accessible with rooms that can accommodate women with any accessibility requirements. Please feel to discuss any specific support needs with our team.

Yes.  We are also able to support with everyday essentials where needed and/or identified such as toiletries, clothing and other everyday items which all can be discussed with our team.

Depending on your circumstances we are able to assist you with safe transport to the confidential Refuge location.  We will ask that you turn off location services on your mobile phone to ensure the location remains confidential.

In general, women can stay in our supported refuge accommodation for up to 12 weeks, although the length of stay is determined on a case-by-case basis. 

We recognise that each woman’s situation is unique, and our priority is to provide tailored assistance to meet the individual needs of each woman.

We are able to accommodate all women in our services. If you are on any type of Australian Visa this is not an issue.  We are able to discuss this in more detail with you in person or over the phone.

You can contact our Women’s Advocates 24/7 on 1800 870 149 option 1 or option 2 when prompted.

We are able to assist in facilitating a referral to the Pets in Crisis program operated by the RSPCA.

This is a free service providing a temporary home for pets whose owners are experiencing immediate family and domestic violence.

Pets are placed in a loving foster home for up to three months while their owner seeks refuge or temporary accommodation of their own.

The Pets in Crisis program is offered throughout Perth and the metropolitan area, the South West, and in the Great Southern.

If leaving your pet is a barrier for you or the Pets in Crisis program is unsuitable please call to speak to one of the team to discuss further.

Our refuges are tailored to provide safe accommodate for women without children currently in their care.

We fully support mothers and work closely with them to reunite with their children in other safe accommodation, providing comprehensive assistance and guidance throughout the process.

Our Support Coordinators will work with you to create a safety plan to help you feel safer from family and domestic violence, whether you have left your relationship or you choose to stay.

Sometimes safety plans might include trusted family members, friends, or support services who you feel comfortable to contact for support. It also includes your perpetrator’s identifying details, ways in which you can keep yourself safe, and useful numbers such as 000 and Crisis Care.
