Karinya House for Mothers and Babies (Karinya) is a community based, not for profit organisation servicing Canberra and the surrounding regions. For over 24 years, Karinya has provided immediate support for women who are pregnant or have babies and have nowhere else to turn. As a twenty-four-hour, seven day a week service, Karinya is the only service specifically for pregnant and parenting women in the region, offering residential as well as outreach case management and support.

Karinya recognises and acknowledges the unique lived experiences of women as they navigate building a future for themselves. Our practice framework is focused on developing a sense of hope and belonging, to effect lasting positive change in the lives of the women in contact with Karinya.

By providing a framework of care that encompasses the whole person, practitioners walk alongside women as they develop their capacity to represent themselves and to make informed choices about their own lives. The Karinya Practice Framework is founded within the principles of trauma informed care and practice. Individual casework management and flexibility in service provision are paramount at Karinya.

Karinya is a non-government, non-judgmental and non-religious organisation.
