Herstory
Macleod is a not for profit organisation that has been operating on the Gold Coast, Queensland since 1992. We provide supported crisis accommodation within a high security unit-style refuge complex. In addition, we provide some external supported crisis accommodation within the same school zone. We provide specialist mobile outreach support for women and children experiencing domestic violence or are homeless or at risk or homelessness due to domestic violence.
About Macleod Refuge
Through our work we not only provide immediate protection but also foster lasting change by empowering individuals to break free from cycles of violence and create safe, stable futures for themselves and their children. The impact of our services extends beyond the walls of our refuge and mobile outreach work, contributing to the greater issue of challenging an end to domestic and family violence in our community. At Macleod, every survivor’s journey toward recovery and empowerment matters, and together we are building a future where safety and hope are within reach for everyone.
Thank you for supporting Macleod Refuge.
Our administration costs are covered by funding and all donations are used for direct support for the women and their children we are supporting. This can range from very specific needs to broad general needs for all of our women and families. Your contribution is welcomed and valued.
