Chrysalis House Women’s Refuge provides safe and supported accommodation for women with or without children who are escaping family violence or are at risk of being homeless as a result of crisis.

Services include:

• Safe, secure crisis accommodation for up to three weeks
• Development of safety plans
• Practical and emotional assistance and support
• Outreach support services
• Information and advocacy
• Referrals to other agencies
• Links to housing, income, legal and medical services

Chrysalis House also provides services for children.  A child support worker works with children to reduce the harmful effects of family violence, including availability of crèche services.  Chrysalis House can accommodate children and youth up to the age of 18 years with appropriate recreation activities available.

Chrysalis House is staffed 24 hours/7 days a week.

We work hard to make sure our accommodation services are a homely environment and would encourage you to have a chat with our staff if you’re feeling uncertain about using the service.

If you would like more information about family violence or just want someone to talk to about your situation, contact us on 9964 2173.
