About the Program

Women's Health and Wellbeing Service is located in Townsville and provides services to Ayr, Ingham, Charters Towers and the Townsville area. The service offers support for women and non-binary people aged 16 years and over and prioritises those who have experienced domestic, family and gender-based violence. The tailored and holistic support helps women to improve their wellbeing through trauma-informed counselling, case management and capacity-building supports. Support is confidential and free.

We recognise that disrespect toward women and non-binary people can lead to gender-based violence, which can profoundly affect self-esteem, identity, and emotional wellbeing. We use the Collaborative Recovery Model (CRM), which focuses on peoples' strengths and supports collaboration and independence. This approach involves staff working alongside people to identify their strengths and priorities to improve their overall wellbeing.
