Support from Karinya House is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Karinya House is a small non-religious, non-political community based, not for profit organisation offering residential and outreach case management and support for women in the ACT and surrounding region. Our vision is to provide a place of welcome, sanctuary and community to women, where individual case planning nurtures each individual woman’s holistic wellbeing.
