The Rockhampton Women Shelter is a not for profit organisation that supports women and children escaping domestic violence. The women who enter the women shelter with their children require support to start a new life free of violence. Many of these women have little to no life skills and can struggle with small things such as paperwork. Domestic violence is a form of control of another person, and it is our mission to assist these families to regain a sense of power over their own lives and starting a fresh life where they feel empowered and in control.
