The Centre is a place for women to heal and rebuild lives
after experiencing domestic, family, and sexual violence.
The journey for survivors of domestic, family and sexual violence may not end once women are no longer in a crisis situation or no longer in a domestic, family or sexual violence relationship. Research gathered from people with lived experience shows that healing and recovery may take many years. The Illawarra Women’s Trauma Recovery Centre is an Australian-first, long-term support centre designed by women with lived experience for women.
The Illawarra Women’s Trauma Recovery Centre is an Australian-first, long-term support Centre co-designed by women with lived experience, for women.
