Welcome to Jireh House.
A Safe Place

Jireh House is a welcoming, supportive crisis accommodation service for women and children in Tasmania.

Jireh House has been operating since the 1980s when a small group of local volunteers, motivated by their Christian faith, began providing shelter and support to women and children escaping family violence.

Today, Jireh House continues this mission, with a dedicated and professional team of staff here to assist women and children experiencing homelessness.

“I’m now living a fulfilling life with my daughters. I’m glad I found the courage”

Private, comfortable accommodation

Women and children staying at Jireh House have their own private, secure accommodation that is fully furnished.

All units and bedsits have private bathrooms with a kitchen / kitchenette. There are also communal areas including a laundry, loungeroom, oven and a relaxing garden. Some properties have access to a playground.

You will be supplied with some basic items during your stay such as bedding and towels. You are also welcome to bring some of your own personal items, but we do not have space to store furniture or large belongings.

Rent is calculated using an equation which is based on your income.

We work hard to ensure that everyone who stays at Jireh House feels safe and secure.
