Karinya House for Mothers and Babies is a community based, grass roots, local organisation, supporting women in Canberra and the surrounding Region, who are pregnant or early parenting and in crisis. We invite our community to share in this purpose.
Our service, which operates on a twenty-four hour, seven days a week basis, is located in the ACT and provides professional and specialised support to women throughout Canberra and the surrounding regional areas. Since the establishment of Karinya House on 29 September 1997 through to 30 June 2018, we have supported over 2,200 pregnant and parenting women, as well as their babies and families.

Our services, our stories
Names and situations have been changed and merged. Stock images have been used. Any similarity to a person is therefore coincidental, as the stories here will represent aspects of stories of many women who have found some time and space through their Karinya experience.
Annual Fundraising Target
A night of shelter and residential support costs $500. A day of outreach services costs $440. A day of midwifery support costs $440. Karinya House provides this support 365 days a year.
On average, to support each Woman, through a life changing event, costs $10,000. This is not a significant investment for what can be a most inspiring and enduring return.
