WCS work with communities to establish new shelters, which provide short term emergency accommodation and support in a safe environment that enables homeless women to rebuild self-esteem and achieve control and fulfilment of their lives.


At a time of reduced government spending, Women’s Community Shelters offers a new and ground-breaking ‘tri-partite’ funding model in which Government, philanthropy/business and community all work to provide funding to establish and operate shelters.


In addition, WCS brings expertise in governance, intellectual property, professional development and project management support to communities looking to establish new shelters. 


With a strong and experienced Board and a highly professional team, WCS is focused on supporting each shelter to develop best practice and achieve positive individual outcomes for the women staying at the shelters, while remaining cost efficient.


There are currently 7 WCS shelters, with 1 more close to opening in NSW.

5 of those are women and children's shelters and 2 supporting single women.
