We are all feeling the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. But for some, life has been particularly tough. The pandemic and economic crisis has disrupted family life and caused severe financial hardship for some. This heightened stress and sense of panic had led to a disturbing spike in family violence.

Throughout the COVID-19 health crisis, Good Samaritan Inn has continued to offer 24/7 crisis supported accommodation to women and children from diverse backgrounds. Working within strict government health protocols, staff have worked hard to meet increasingly complex needs with skill, compassion and professionalism. We have continued to offer face-to-face and telephone counselling, case management support as well as material aid and employment support.
