Crisis Accommodation
Our Crisis Accommodation service is for women with or without children who are escaping domestic and family violence and/or are at imminent risk of homelessness.
Our specialist team are on hand to support women and children with various needs. We offer culturally appropriate responses for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and women from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Our Crisis Accommodation is located at Galbaan House in Port Macquarie.
Galbaan House
Galbaan House provides a safe, confidential and nurturing environment for women and children in need of short term crisis accommodation and support.
Every woman who walks through the door at Galbaan House is given the opportunity to explore her hopes and dreams for herself and her family with the support of or professional, caring team.
Catering for women with children and single women, Galbaan House has private bedrooms, communal kitchen and living areas, children's playroom and peaceful outdoor areas.
Where possible, Liberty will soon be able to provide safe accommodation for family pets as part of the RSPCA's Safe Pets Program.
Transitional Housing
Liberty's specialist transitional housing team work with women to secure and maintain affordable medium-term housing.

Transitional Housing and Housing Support services include:
- medium-term housing through community partnerships
