Our Member's Programs

Since 2002, Juno (formerly known as WISHIN) has been working with women and non-binary people in Melbourne’s north who are experiencing homelessness or familyviolence to provide support and design solutions. Alongside our usual case management, our focus at Juno has also been on introducing programs that tackle the structural issues of homelessness, gendered poverty and family violence, to create sustainable change in the lives of the women and non-binary people we work with.

The YWCA Australia Hutt Street Affordable Housing Development is a groundbreaking housing project aimed at addressing the critical issue of housing insecurity and homelessness among women and their families, particularly those experiencing or at risk of domestic and family violence.

McAuley has long been committed to, and advocated for, a ‘Safe at Home’ approach. This transforms the default system where women and children ‘escape’ violence and become homeless; instead they are supported to stay home safely, while ensuring accountability from the person using violence.
