Jireh House has been operating since the 1980s when a small group of local volunteers, motivated by their Christian faith, began providing shelter and support to women and children escaping domestic violence.
Today, Jireh House continues this mission, with a dedicated and professional team of staff here to assist women and children experiencing homelessness.
Women who stay often describe Jireh House as being “like a little neighbourhood”. It’s a place to encourage, support and motivate you to take positive steps forward.
We offer 6 weeks crisis accommodation, with your own private unit and some shared facilities.
Our accommodation services are funded by the Commonwealth and State Government.
We are also grateful to the many individuals, businesses, churches, and other organisations that support our work.
