Western Murrumbidgee Network Homelessness Service

This service provides emergency refuge accommodation for women, with or without dependent children (formerly known as Kulkuna Cottage Women’s Refuge) and young people aged 16–25 years. 

The service supports clients through two components: co-ordination and brokerage, and homelessness support. It responds to a range of client groups, including women and children experiencing domestic and family violence, Aboriginal people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and people who are chronically homeless or with complex needs. 

The homelessness support component provides a comprehensive range of responses, including early intervention, rapid re-housing, crisis and transitional accommodation, and intensive responses for people with complex needs. 

The coordination and brokerage component coordinates an integrated service network for all target groups and locations across the Western Murrumbidgee Network service area. It provides flexible brokerage packages to enable appropriate case management and other support to clients.
