Womens 'Badjurr' Lounge at The Living Room

A safe place for women experiencing homelessness.

Our Women's ('Badjurr') Lounge provides a safe and supportive environment for women to access a range of mental, physical and social support services through The Living Room. 

By temporarily removing cisgender men from the equation, The Women’s (‘Badjurr’) Lounge creates a safe environment where females can put their own experiences front and centre – removing the pressure and trauma wrought by social conditioning experienced in all gendered environments. 

Women can access support and interventions from services available at The Living Room, as well as holistic referral services with collaborative agencies such as The Orange Door, Djirra and the Victoria Police Family Violence Unit.

The Living Room medical clinic is staffed by doctors and nurses available Monday to Saturday.

Please bring your Medicare card when you visit if you have one. Services are free.

Opening hours:
Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 4pm
Saturday 11am to 4pm
