RUAH Centre for Women and Children

The Angela Wright Bennett Centre, founded through the Ruah Centre for Women and Children Project, is Australia’s first, state-of-the-art healing and recovery centre dedicated to supporting women and children affected by family and domestic violence.

The seven-story, purpose-built facility was designed in consultation with Aboriginal Women Elders, as well as Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women with lived experience of family and domestic violence to ensure it is a place where women and their children can be safe, where they will feel welcome, where they can heal and where they can start to rebuild their lives.

With 13 self-contained accommodation units, these have been designed as safe, short-term accommodation to provide the secure and private environment essential for recovery and healing.
