For over 30 years, Women Up North Housing has proudly supported the communities of Lismore and its surroundings. Our extensive experience and understanding are dedicated to helping you achieve a brighter future.

Our Services

Women Up North operates across the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales, with our head office located in Lismore. We serve the Local Government Areas (LGA) of Byron, Ballina, Lismore, Kyogle, and Clarence Valley, providing essential services in these regions and their neighboring villages.

As a member of the Northern NSW Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS) consortium, led by Momentum Collective, we offer specialized services to Aboriginal communities and tailored support for women and children affected by domestic and family violence, from Tweed to Grafton. Funded by Family and Community Services NSW and supported by grants, donations, and partnerships, we provide a range of beneficial supports including:

Case Management: Personalized support to help navigate the path to safety and independence.
Group Work: Facilitated group sessions designed to empower and educate.
Innovative Programs: Tailored programs addressing specific needs and fostering resilience.

Our professional partnerships with regional service providers enhance our ability to offer comprehensive information and supported referrals to additional services across NSW and Australia.
