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.

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 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.
