Organisation Summary

The Farm in Galong assist women recovering from addiction, domestic violence, and other life depleting situations. We specialize in holistic, long-term support and firmly believe in setting women up to start afresh. By receiving expert educational and psychological care, our residents gain qualifications and skills that will help them to build a life of their own. Unlike other facilities, The Farm specializes in reuniting vulnerable women with their children. Not only do we provide legal assistance to guide women through custody challenges, but we also provide a secure environment where their children can flourish.

While The Farm is a place of restoration, it is not a holiday. Our women work hard towards a better life for themselves and their children, and we are proud of the progress they make. For us, success is about giving women the best possible chance of a happy future with their family.
In real terms, this means the women leave The Farm with:
– A nationally-recognized qualification that will allow them to find a job.
– Custody of their children, confidence in their motherhood and a plan for the child’s future education and needs, where possible.
– An improved relationship with their wider family (e.g. siblings, parents) thanks to facilitated reunion sessions.
– Access to a new home, a new support network and employment so that we know they are going from a position of strength to strength.
– Usable life and wellness skills, including knowledge of exercise, nutrition, budgeting and communication.
