Transitional and Post- Accommodation Support Upon leaving Catherine House, women receive a “moving-on pack” with essentials to help set up their new home. Additional financial support is provided through: • The Wyatt Trust – furniture purchases. • We Are Mobilise – covering up to three months’ rent. An outreach case worker continues to support women during this transition, ensuring they have the best chance to succeed in their new environment. Department for Correctional Services – Bail Program In partnership with the Department for Correctional Services, Catherine House offers a Bail Program for women exiting Adelaide Women’s Prison. The program includes: • 4 live-in places within our accommodation service. • 24/7 support. • 3 months of outreach support. Each participant is assigned a case worker who helps women work toward goals in housing, wellbeing, legal
matters, relationships, education, employment, and community connection. This program offers a transformative opportunity for women to rebuild their lives. Outreach Service Our Outreach Service supports women transitioning from Catherine House into community housing, including eight nearby units managed by Unity Housing. Eligible clients receive short-term outreach support to help establish stable tenancies and connect with their new communities. Case workers collaborate with women to develop personalised goal plans, continuing progress made during their stay at Catherine House and supporting long-term success.
