23.01.2022 Dry July is a not-for-profit organisation aimed at improving the lives of adults living with cancer. By giving up alcohol for the month of July, it's a good opportunity to raise awareness of individual drinking habits and the importance of a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle. #dryjuly #mackaywomenservices #mackaydvrs

23.01.2022 Mackay Women's Services are currently not taking any donations at the moment. A massive thank you from us to the Mackay community! Your generosity over the Christmas period means that our donation cupboard and storage sheds are full to the brim. We have plenty of nappies, wipes, formula, clothes and toiletries etc to help those in need (for the next little while at least - watch this space).

07.01.2022 Today we welcomed Di Farmer MP and Julieanne Gilbert Member for Mackay to the centre for one of our High-Risk Team’s Case Conferencing meetings. At that meeting it was announced that Mackay Women's Services will receive an extra $50,000 to help coordinate the work of the High-Risk Team (HRT). The HRT is a multi-agency response to domestic and family violence in the region. Representatives from Queensland Police, Queensland Health, Corrective Services, the Department of Housin...g and DV services such as ours, meet regularly to share information and work together so they can quickly and more effectively identify women and children who are experiencing domestic and family violence and are at a high-risk of serious harm or even death. #notnownotever
