Jodie’s Place Refuge
A safe place to land when families hit rocky waters
Established in 2013, Jodies Place offers a safe refuge home for up to 11 women and children in Cessnock.
It is run by volunteers and supported by Huntlee Property Group.
The refuge is named after Jodie Jurd, who died from domestic violence in November 2011.
Need Refuge?
Access to Jodie’s Place is managed by our volunteer co-ordinators.
Our mission is to help women and children whose lives have been adversely affected by domestic violence. We educate, support and advocate, ensuring that all our clients have access to the services, resources and opportunities available to them.

Hunter Domestic Violence Support and Services is run on the generosity of donations we receive from the community, groups and local businesses. We do not receive funding from the government for our services.
