Welcome to Nana’s Nest

Nana’s Nest provides a safe, affordable home and supportive community for women with infant children and women over 55 escaping domestic and family violence.

At Nana’s Nest we don’t just provide shelter, we offer a secure home, a place of refuge and a community that becomes family. Once you’re here, you’ll always have a place to return to.

We create a connected community where younger women can rebuild their confidence, older women find renewed purpose and children grow up surrounded by care and stability.

Together, we’re breaking cycles of trauma and building pathways to independence, belonging and hope.

Who We Help

Nana’s Nest welcomes young women with infants and women over 55 years who have already gone through crisis accommodation and are ready for a stable, supportive next step. As a transitional home, we provide the space, safety and community they need to regain independence. All placements are made through referrals from crisis shelters and partner services.
