Inform your
workplace
Be a champion for women and children in your company. Talk to your employer about matching your support for Jenny’s Place or setting up payroll giving.
Almost two-thirds of women who experience domestic and family violence have paid jobs. Without the right support, they are likely to suffer absenteeism, presenteeism (coming to work sick), decreased productivity, poor job satisfaction and low morale.
Jenny’s Place helps to ensure that working women are supported to maintain their employment, develop workplace safety plans where necessary, and to access domestic violence services.
Ask your workplace to contribute to the safety of the women you work with and their families. By partnering with Jenny’s Place, your company can develop and implement domestic and family violence policies and procedures that build a work culture that supports women.
We offer awareness training and tailored programs to ensure that your company is a leader in addressing this significant issue for the nation and the region.

Goods Donation
Jenny’s Place welcomes donations of new goods such as:
- Personal care items for crisis shelters
Sometimes women fleeing domestic violence are not able to prepare or to pack. We need new items such as toothbrushes, nappies, pajamas, underwear, or toiletries. - Children’s toys and books
Gifts can help to brighten Christmas or a birthday for the children, from 1 to 18 years old, who are in crisis or transitional accommodation.
We are unable to use or process donations of furniture or household effects. If you have goods to donate, we can direct you to a partner charity, such as Friends with Dignity, who may be able to use it.
Please email or call us to check what we need or discuss donating goods.
