Thank you to our supporters

The women who rest with us are held by more than these six secluded acres in Port Stephens. They are held by a community of donors, partners, and quiet contributors who believe rest should be within reach. Thank you for standing alongside us.

Your support

Together, you make this possible

Every contribution helps create a calm, supportive environment where women can pause, breathe, and reconnect in their own time.

Women’s Healing Sanctuary is a registered Australian charity with Deductible Gift Recipient status, which means every gift is held with care and accountability. Your support keeps our doors open for women who simply need somewhere safe to rest.

Our community

Who stands with the Sanctuary

We are grateful to the individuals, families, local businesses, and community organisations who give time, funding, and in-kind support to the Sanctuary.

We are also grateful to the counsellors, therapists, and support services who refer women to us as part of a broader pathway of care. We are working on a fuller acknowledgement here so each contribution can be honoured properly.

Making stays more affordable

Donations and partnerships help keep retreat stays within reach for women who need time away but face financial barriers.

Creating subsidised pathways

Your support funds subsidised stays for women who would otherwise find a retreat out of reach, giving more women access to rest and recovery.

Keeping the experience human

Community support allows us to keep care, privacy, and dignity at the centre of every stay, rather than cutting back on what matters most.

Sustaining the Sanctuary itself

The calm, supported environment women arrive to is maintained by the generosity of those who believe rest should be available to more women.
