The Women's Cottage is a community based support and resource centre, run by women, for women and children of the Hawkesbury district since 1983. 

The Women's Cottage is a special place where all women, regardless of age, race, religion or sexual preference are valued and treated as equal.

It is a place for women to nurture themselves; a place of safety; a place to learn and grow. It is not a place for "one type of woman", but a place for all. A place that believes that access and equity are more that ideas and principles.

The Women's Cottage offers a range of services including:

• Confidential crisis support & referral.
• access to counselling services,
• case management and referrals
• practical and material support  
• A venue for women's groups to meet.
• Activities, courses & friendly support for women & children.
• low cost appointments with an experienced local Herbalist
• Theraputic, social and interest groups.
• Safe & experienced child-care with a kids playroom
