What we do

Questions about our services?

Project Esther has been working with women and their families since 1995! With a staff team and many volunteers, we offer a range of activities and support.

Below are some of our programs and services. In addition, we do a range of other things such as: offering subsidised counselling, working one-on-one with women, supporting women studying with our educational fund, and partnering with other local organisations.

Referrals are always welcome. Anyone can make a referral - for yourself or for someone else. We are open Monday - Thursday 9am-3pm. Please call or email us.
