Home

Women’s & Girls’ Emergency Centre is a drop in centre for homeless women and their children in the Inner City of Sydney.  

 

We provide access to basic necessities such as food, showers, washing machines, a safe space, and a place to create community, material and social assistance, as well as case management services to assistance to access housing, medical, drug and alcohol, mental health, legal and other services..

 

The women we support are predominantly long term homeless women, who have little family and community support.  Many of the women have lived transient lifestyles impacted by issues such as domestic violence; history of sexual assault; mental health; drug and alcohol use, and come from a variety of diverse backgrounds.

 

Our opening hours are Monday—Friday 9.30am—4.00pm

(except on Wednesdays we open at 12.30pm)

 

If you need assistance to access housing, health, welfare or other services, please pop in, or give us a call on 9211 1616.
