A Place To Call Home
Blue Wren House Camden Women’s Shelter, is scheduled to be operational in mid 2022. It will provide safe, supported accommodation

Members of the Shelter Board are representatives of the local area and the community service sector. They bring a broad range of skills and qualifications necessary to manage a successful Shelter.

The Camden Wollondilly Domestic Violence Committee (auspiced by Macarthur Legal Centre) initiated the establishment of a Shelter in 2016.

“You can recognise survivors of abuse by their courage. When silence is so very inviting, they step forward and share their truth so others know they aren’t alone.”
“Never forget that walking away from something unhealthy is brave even if you stumble a little on your way out the door.”
