Refuge Outreach Action Response (ROAR)

Refuge Outreach Action Response (ROAR) operates in Sydney’s Hills district and Blacktown local government areas.

ROAR provides refuge accommodation, and as part of our core response we always assist people to find suitable accommodation.

Additionally, ROAR provides outreach support in the community to people who are escaping or experiencing Domestic and Family Violence and those who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.
