The Centre has a clear goal to improve the quality of life for women in Queensland by providing a range of health services, empowering women, and improving their physical and emotional health. In addition to this, the Centre offers confidential services on all aspects of women’s health, sexual assault counselling, information and referral services, self-development groups and workshops, as well as assistance, information and referral on domestic violence issues.
We revere the inherent dignity and worth of each individual and strive to show kindness and consideration to all. We are honest, open and responsible in our work and in forming trusting relationships.
