Hostel / Bungalow
Services
During the accommodation stay we strive to promote independence through life skill development, providing access to education and work/training opportunities to encourage confidence in young women to reach their full potential.
Margaret Tucker Hostel provides six week crisis accommodation to young Aboriginal and children aged 15-18 who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
The hostel is managed by a Committee of Management made up of Aboriginal women who are community members to oversee the strategic direction and governance of the hostel.
Bungalow
Margaret Tucker Hostel has a bungalow on-site that has been kindly provided by Kids Under Cover.
The bungalow is available to Aboriginal women aged 15-18 years of age who are pregnant or have a young baby up to 6 months old.
The Bungalow is a self-contained unit and includes:
Separate shower and toilet area
Kitchen space with small fridge, microwave and kettle
Bed, cot and change table
Television
The Bungalow is available for 6 weeks short-term accommodation and a Case Manager works with the young woman to access more long term permanent housing.
