ABOUT US

Mary’s House Services was established in 2016, when motivated members of the community on Sydney’s north shore agreed to take direct, affirmative action on the issue of domestic violence to save lives. Mary’s House Services provides accommodation and professional wrap around services for women and their children escaping domestic violence that enables our clients to be safe, hopeful and empowered to take the first steps in rebuilding their lives.
