Often the needs of the women and children go beyond our funding capacity. It is through generous donations we can offer a variety of therapeutic programs for women and children aimed at promoting wellbeing, enhancing self-esteem, confidence, and empowerment. Examples of programs include communal cooking and meals, mindfulness, sports, art, and pottery. We also offer after-school and school holiday activities such as social circus, art, reading, and homework support groups.
In April 2022, the Hobart Women’s Shelter purchased a block of land through community support and donations which will be the site for our first 2 permanent homes for women and children.
Hobart Women's Shelter provides safe, emergency accommodation and support to women and children affected by family violence and/or those experiencing homelessness.
If you or someone you know needs emergency accommodation, please call us on 03 6273 8455 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
For immediate assistance, Housing Connect is available on 1800 800 588, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
