ABOUT SANCTUARY HOUSING

Established in 2017 by Founder Nicole Harcourt, Sanctuary Housing as a not-for-profit charity, providing accommodation.

In Australia, one woman is killed every week by her current or former partner (AIHW). Domestic violence in Australia is a desperate issue and with its prevalence rising, we need caccommodation now more than ever. 

Sanctuary Housing is proud to offer as a motel

provider housing solutions through women only in motel accommodation. 

We operate across Sydney, running 24/7, 365 days a year. 

Sanctuary Housing is currently able to accommodate up to 100 women and their children (and their pets!) at any one time. We operate at approximately 90% occupancy year round as a motel. 

Women and children are our cohort - and we provide all meals, toiletries & clothing, as well as 24/7 security monitoring to ensure that women feel safe, secure and supported. We provide motel accommodation via a booking line.

Further to this, we could possibly provide referral links to case management services to ensure that women have all the support required when moving forwards on their journey. 

Our long term vision is to help women transition to longer-term accommodation. We see first hand how challenging it can be for women to secure rentals with little (or no) rental history or financial stability. Our vision is to acquire a block of units so that we can help women transition to longer-term accommodation and develop a rental history.
