MUDGINGAAL BALAANG AT WAMINDA
MUDGINGAAL BALAANG WOMENS REFUGE
Waminda is proud to now be welcoming clients to the Mudgingaal Balaang space, a place of refuge dedicated to supporting Aboriginal women and their children who are escaping domestic and family violence, as well as those facing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
Mudgingaal Balaang offers a culturally safe, accessible short-term crisis accommodation with Waminda’s wrap around supports. Our focus is on the wellbeing of mothers and children through our holistic case management, connections to Waminda programs and clinical services, and referrals to external support services, including legal assistance, housing and court support.
The core & cluster model features independent living spaces (cluster) alongside communal facilities (core), fostering connection and support in a safe, child-friendly environment.
This innovative approach ensures that women and children receive the care they need while preserving their routines and dignity.
Mudgingaal Balaang is not just a safe space; it represents a pathway to empowerment, wellbeing, and long-term stability.
