A welcome on their new path

Women from all walks of life come to Mary & Martha’s domestic violence refuge to escape domestic and family violence.

The refuge offers help, security and support to women and children who come to the service at a time when there is nowhere safe for them to go.

Women find safety, emotional support and a non-judgemental welcome as they embark on their new path.

Donations to Mary and Martha’s go towards providing services and support such as:

A parenting program
Financial literacy and budgeting skills programs
An opportunity to attend Lutheran Youth camp – to experience a supportive Christian community while having fun
Healthy relationship program

We assist our clients to empower themselves with resilience and skills to actively work towards a better future for themselves and their children.

Our accommodation is safe, secure and modern offering:

self-contained apartments

a playground for children

recreation area to connect with others
