Help Build a Future with Open Hearts – A Shelter for Those in Need
You’re invited to join Stage 2 of the Open Hearts Domestic Violence Shelter community consultation, where we’re working hand in hand with our community to make this life-saving project a reality. Open Hearts will be a refuge for women and children in need of safety and support—a place of hope, resilience, and healing.
Round 1 Dates and Locations
- Cardwell – 26th November @ the Cardwell RSL Sub-branch
- Mission Beach – 28th November @ the Mission Beach Resort
- Tully – 4th December @ the Tully QCWA Hall
- Innisfail – 5th December @ the Con Theatre
At these consultations, we’ll share information on:
- The critical need for a DFV shelter in our region
- How Open Hearts will provide safe, supportive spaces for those in crisis
- Opportunities for you to participate and show your support
Every night, many women and children face the difficult choice between staying with an abuser or finding refuge in temporary, unsafe housing due to a shortage of crisis shelters. Open Hearts will offer a welcoming, secure facility with therapeutic spaces and best-practice services designed to meet both physical and emotional needs. By supporting this project, you’ll be part of a movement to end gender-based violence within a generation.
If you can’t join us in person, please consider signing our Change.org petition. Together, we can bring Open Hearts to Tully and make a lasting difference.
