Homeless Multicultural Women Integrated Support Service (HOMWISS)

SpeakOut offers information, support and referral services to multicultural women experiencing domestic and family violence, who are or are on the verge of being homeless. Most of our clients are women on temporary visas with very limited financial resources.

Women’s Shelter

It provides crisis accommodation to multicultural women (with no children) escaping domestic violence. It provides a safe place for women who are on the verge of being homeless, providing them security, hope and help to rebuild their self-esteem and regain confidence.

Immigrant Women’s Resource Centre

Immigrant Women’s Resource Centre facilitates a range of activities for women to promote community engagement, skills development and to reduce isolation. We offer regular classes such as English Conversation and Computer Literacy. We also offer Sewing classes to empower women to be financially independent.

Advocacy – Upholding your rights

We advocate for the rights of refugee and migrant women, representing their issues and ideas at all levels of government, community, media and the industrial sectors. Our work includes community and media education projects, arts projects, research and publications.
