Women's Trauma Recovery Centre The Illawarra Women’s Trauma Recovery Centre is a place for women to heal and rebuild lives after experiencing domestic, family, and sexual violence.

NSW Health Minister Ryan Park MP recently visited the Centre to launch our strategic plan.
During his visit, the Minister saw firsthand how the Centre is creating a safe and supportive place for women who have experienced domestic, family and sexual violence to heal, recover and rebuild their lives.
It was also an opportunity to share what we have learned from the women we support and our vision for ensuring specialist, long-term trauma recovery is available to women when they need it.

Meet Lyndell, our Coming Home to My Body group facilitator

Lyndell brings a lifelong love of dance to a group that combines expressive movement, breathwork and sound healing, offering women space to reconnect with their bodies.

You don’t need to learn steps or follow a routine. Movement might be gentle swaying, stretching or simply being still - whatever feels right for you.
Each session finishes with time for rest and relaxation.

Please note: Available to women currently receiving support through the Centre. Contact us on 4243 9800 for information on how to refer and wait times.

Meet Beck Corley, our trauma-sensitive yoga group facilitator.

Our Friday classes, delivered in partnership with The Yoga Foundation, offer women space to reconnect with their bodies and listen to what feels right.

There’s no perfect pose and no yoga experience is needed - we even provide all the equipment.

Everything we do at the Illawarra Women’s Trauma Recovery Centre is driven by a clear purpose: to change what recovery can look like for women who have experienced domestic, family and sexual violence.
That means providing specialist, long-term support that goes beyond immediate safety, giving women the time, care and support they need to rebuild their lives.
As our CEO Elise Phillips says, our ambition is not only for women to recover, but to thrive.
