Inverell and Glen Innes Homelessness Support Service

This service supports young people, women, men, and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, including women (with or without children) affected by domestic and family violence, young parents, young people under the age of 16 years, and young people leaving care or other institutions.

It provides client-centred homelessness support, including prevention and early intervention, rapid rehousing, crisis and transitional accommodation, and intensive responses for people with complex needs. Support is provided in the Inverell and Glen Innes local government areas, with regular servicing of outlying communities (Tenterfield, Deepwater, Emmaville, Drake, Red Range, Wallangarra and Ashford) in response to need.

The service has a strong focus on responses for Aboriginal young people, women, men and families, and is accessible to people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

This service includes the Inverell Women and Children's Refuge Centre.
