We provide 24/7 hour crisis support call 0800 16 33 44 or call the Police on 111 if you are in immediate danger.

Our role is to support and influence the prevention and elimination of domestic violence. Our purpose is to liberate women, children, families and whānau from family violence by providing quality services and support to navigate through to safety.

We work collaboratively with other agencies and family harm service providers to ensure a total wrap-around service for our whānau and tamariki. This helps whānau to get the right services like lawyers, protection orders and emergency housing when they need it where possible. We have crisis workers who deal with the initial responses and make sure that you are sorted for the immediate safety concerns and welfare.

Gift a Safe Night

Every night, over 200 women in New Zealand need a safe place to escape to.

One night of safety at Women’s Refuge for a woman and child costs just $20 and includes a clean safe bed, secure transport, hot meals, supportive staff, 24/7 crisis line and helpful advice.

We also appreciate monetary donations. Nelson Women’s and Children’s Refuge is a not for profit organisation, so every little bit counts.

Our vision is for all women and their tamariki to live free from domestic and family violence.  Our services are offered across the Nelson / Tasman / Golden Bay and Murchison areas. There is no part of our region that is too remote for us to help you.
