It is one of 19 centres to share $34.3m in extra State Government funding over the next four years.
The Women’s Health Centre Program provides face-to-face support to an average of 50,000 women across NSW each year, with those from low income and other priority backgrounds, including domestic violence victims, making up the majority of clients.
The centres provide a range of services including tailored healthcare, supporting vulnerable women with their physical and mental health, sexual and reproductive health, as well as preventative classes, events and support groups.
Women’s Health NSW CEO Denele Crozier said the funding would bring an immediate increase in essential health services for vulnerable and at risk women in need, provide sustainability to the sector and stability to the workforce.
“Women who come to our services need specialised care. The work we do and will continue to do will save lives,” she said.
