Allawah Cottage

A Sanctuary for Women, children, and beloved pets.

Nestled in the heart of Gunnedah, Allawah Cottage stands as a beacon of hope and refuge for women seeking solace and support in the face of domestic and family violence. Founded by Jobs Australia Enterprises Ltd in response to the critical need for crisis accommodation in our community, Allawah Cottage embodies the spirit of compassion, resilience, and solidarity.

At Allawah Cottage, our mission is simple yet profound: to provide a haven where women can reclaim their autonomy, rebuild their lives, and envision a future free from violence. Guided by a dedicated team and community supporters, we offer comprehensive services and holistic support to empower survivors on their journey to healing and independence.

The inception of Allawah Cottage was born out of a collective commitment to combatting Domestic and Family Violence and fostering a culture of empathy and empowerment. Led by Jobs Australia Enterprises Ltd CEO Nigel Barlow and Deputy CEO Gavin Kay, our journey began with an emotional realisation of the dire need for crisis accommodation in Gunnedah. Through unwavering determination and community collaboration, we transformed this vision into a tangible reality, culminating in the establishment of Allawah Cottage. As we embark on the journey ahead, we remain steadfast in our commitment to expanding our reach and impact. With plans to construct additional housing units and enhance our facilities, we envision a future where every survivor of domestic and family violence finds safety, support, and empowerment. Together, we can create a world free from violence, where every woman can thrive and flourish.

Since its beginning, Allawah Cottage has touched the lives of countless women, not only in Gunnedah but also across state borders. Through the generosity of Jobs Australia Enterprises Ltd, support services, and the unwavering support of the Gunnedah and wider reaching communities, we have facilitated transformative journeys of healing and empowerment. From essential funding and providing furniture to offering a lifeline of support, each contribution has been instrumental in shaping the success and sustainability of Allawah Cottage.

The success of Allawah Cottage is a testament to the power of community solidarity and collective action. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the generous sponsors, businesses, and individuals in Gunnedah and beyond who have rallied behind our cause.
