Description:
The Women’s Centre provides support, encouragement and education in a safe environment for women. A primary aim of the Centre is to provide a good environment for communication and relationship development. Communication and human connection is a key factor in growth and development, support and education services and in women, developing good relationships with family, children and the wider community.
All services, facilities and workshops are available on a self selection basis. This is important in that women need to choose to come. We don’t target a specific age range. Our facilities are used by women from newborn babies to any age.
