THE SERVICE
Guthrie House is a small women-only residential service in Enmore, inner Sydney, founded in 1979 by Sandra Willson as the first halfway house in New South Wales for women leaving prison. It takes women aged 18 and over who are involved in the criminal legal system, using substances and homeless or at risk of homelessness, and their accompanying children. The residential program runs three months and is followed by twelve to eighteen months of outreach, home visits and housing support.

CARE & DAILY LIFE
Ask about staff qualifications, medication policy, accessibility and any specific support needs before you decide. Almost no service in this directory publishes what it will and will not admit.
COST
We hold what this service publishes, and we do not put a price at the top of a profile for the public to sort on. The cheapest service on a page is rarely the right one for a particular person, and a quote that comes with the conversation about what is included is worth more than a band. Professional referrers see the figures in their workspace.
