Bonnie Women's Refuge

Bonnie Women's Refuge (originally Bonny Women's Refuge) is a women's refuge located in south-west Sydney, established in 1974.[1][2] It was the second refuge to open in Australia, following Elsie Refuge,[3] and formed part of the original NSW Women's Refuge Movement which was established to meet the need for specialised housing and support services for women and children escaping domestic violence. The refuge, now operated as a company limited by guarantee with the name Bonnie Support Services Ltd, is registered as a public benevolent institution.[4] It continues to provide vital support and crisis accommodation for women and children experiencing and escaping domestic violence.[5]
