MOREE Women’s Refuge – Ngala House – will hold its Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, February 4, with an open invitation for Moree residents to attend.

The refuge provides an accessible, adequate and appropriately supported crisis accommodation service for women and children escaping domestic violence or who are homeless due to circumstances beyond their control.

A manager, three case workers and one administration worker are employed to provide services.

Ngala House manager, Carmel Sullivan, said the refuge provides support services to assist women and their children to move towards independent living and is accessible 24hrs a day, seven days a week.

“Ngala House provides a safe, supportive environment where women and their children can begin to rebuild their lives after experiencing domestic violence or homelessness,” Ms Sullivan said.

“Our service operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring help is available whenever it is needed.

“We focus on empowering women with the practical and emotional support required to move toward independent and stable living,” she said.

The refuge accepts women with or without dependent children, women with no income, women who are on the methadone program and women with alcohol, drug and mental health issues.

“Women who are homeless are given emergency crisis accommodation if there is space in the refuge and if women escaping domestic violence are not disadvantaged,” Ms Sullivan said.

Ngala House, on the corner of Frome Street and Thompsons Avenue near Boughton Oval, has five bedrooms, two bathrooms and two toilets.

One bedroom is suitable for wheelchair access and has toilet facilities suitable for a client with a disability.

There are also video security cameras installed on the premises, which are monitored at all times.

The Ngala House management committee is responsible to lead and oversee the activities of the organisation.

They are also required to make sure the organisation is run well and delivers the outcomes for which it has been set up.

Nominations for positions on the management committee are to be lodged with the secretary by January 30, 2026.

Only financial members of the Association may vote.
