WCSSI has been providing an escape from domestic and family violence since 1977.
Our clients always have someone to talk to whether it is about something specific, or if they just need a chat with a cup of coffee in hand.
Who we are
A Team of Professionals, Passionate About Women’s Safety & Wellbeing
Our Shelters are located in Ipswich and the address is kept confidential to keep our clients and staff safe. We run a number of programs with our clients and link them to local services that can help rebuild lives.
A shelter provides safe emergency accommodation for women and children escaping violent or abusive situations. Shelters exist because we believe that women have the right to live their life free of violence and fear. Our team assists with Centrelink, schooling, legal and housing related matters.
