The Women’s Resilience Centre founded in 2020 is a place of hope, healing and recovery for women who have experienced or witnessed domestic abuse and trauma. Whilst many government and voluntary services provide housing and support for victims, most are short-term and through desperation, many women return to unsafe environments thereby perpetuating the tragic cycle of abuse and trauma.
The WRC is positioned to fill the gap between short-term crisis care and longer-term recovery. We provide a Resilience Program supported by a lived-experience peer-to-peer Mentoring Program, delivered nationally online and face-to-face. Through partnerships with housing providers, we are planning a national network of residential accommodations for up to 12 months, providing a safe space for women to reset their lives.
