The Katungul Women’s Healing Centre (KWHC) is a culturally safe and holistic service that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children who are experiencing domestic and family violence and/or severe homelessness as a result.
The centre provides safe and ongoing accommodation support, with individual or family rooms available. There are shared common spaces for residents such as the kitchen, living room and dining area, as well as an outdoor space with a yarning circle.
The Centre offers programs to promote and encourage healing and recovery. These programs can take place within the facility, or out on Country.
Preference of residency is given to Indigenous women aged16 years old or above, who are experiencing unsafe domestic and family violence and/or homelessness. Dependent children under the age of 16 years must be supervised at all times while residing in the centre.
All women and children who reside at the facility are treated with dignity and respect. Safety and confidentiality of residents remain a priority for the centre. Security measures are in place to ensure that residents feel physically, emotionally and culturally safe.
