Lake Macquarie Women and Family Homelessness Support Service

The service supports women and women with children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, including women and women with children affected by domestic and family violence, or who have complex needs. It provides client-centred homelessness support, including prevention and early intervention, rapid rehousing, crisis and transitional accommodation, and intensive responses for women with complex needs.

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

This service provides two women’s refuges:

• Eastlakes Women’s and Children's Refuge
• Westlakes Women’s and Children's Refuge.
