Safe futures are built together
Gender-based violence and homelessness are complex, interconnected issues. That is why our work does not begin and end with crisis.
WAGEC works across the full continuum from practical support to recovery and prevention. We walk alongside survivors as they rebuild their lives, and work with communities to prevent harm and change the systems that too often fail them.
Crisis Services
Safe accommodation, housing support, case management, and practical assistance for those experiencing homelessness, domestic and family violence, housing insecurity, and disadvantage.
Support pathways
Tailored programs that support recovery, safety, connection, and long-term stability, from helping children heal from trauma to mentoring and support beyond the justice system.
Prevention and education
Education programs, training and resources that challenge gender inequality, build respectful relationships and help workplaces, educators and communities prevent violence before it starts.
Advocacy and campaigns
Evidence-informed advocacy and public campaigns that centre lived experience, influence policy and mobilise communities to demand better from the systems shaping people’s lives.
How we build safe futures
No two journeys are the same. Where one woman might need support to navigate the housing system, another might need help for her children.
Drawing on almost 50 years of frontline expertise, our services and programs are trauma-informed, strengths-based, and designed to meet people where they are and walk towards safe futures, together.
