Elizabeth Morgan House Aboriginal Women's Service Inc

Description

We are the peak body in Victoria for Aboriginal women and children, advising Peak Aboriginal Organisations, Government & NGO sector on issues affecting Aboriginal women & families.

 

We provide refuge accommodation, specialist family violence services, therapeutic support and work with our women in the justice system to uphold and defend their rights to live a life free from violence. Our support also extends to parents of Aboriginal children, as well as partners and ex-partners of Aboriginal people.

​

We are proudly an Aboriginal community controlled organisation. We work in consultation with our community in all aspects of our services.

​

Central to our work is self-determination. EMH continue our matriarchal legacy by advocating for culturally safe, place-based, trauma informed, strength and rights-based approaches. We walk beside our women in their journey. We are proud of our contributions to wider society and assert that the full realisation and enjoyment of human rights for all is not possible without addressing First Nation People’s human rights violations.
