Djirra is working toward bringing to life our 22+ year vision for Victoria’s first Aboriginal Women’s Centre.

When built, the Aboriginal Women’s Centre will be a special place where Aboriginal women can feel welcome and safe, access services, and be supported in every way to live empowered lives.

It will support our vision of keeping our women safe, strong, connected, visible, and heard.

Djirra’s Aboriginal Women’s Centre will be:

  • Tailor made to meet the needs of our women
  • The first of its kind in Victoria
  • A place of holistic and empowering support
  • Key to ensuring our women are invested in
  • The strong foundation needed for Djirra’s expansion

We envision a space that is welcoming and beautiful, with healing imbued in every element of its design.

Women will come to the Centre to strengthen community connection, celebrate culture, and access a broad range of support.

Djirra plans to further expand our service provision in regional Victoria, so no Aboriginal woman needs to travel more than 1 hour or 100km to access our services.

We cannot fulfil this vision without strengthening our foundation in Melbourne.

As our existing space is no longer equipped to meet high demand for programs and services, our trajectory of growth relies on the establishment of this exciting space.
