Albany Refuge Project Completes Stage One with $2.4 Million Funding

Stage one of a new crisis accommodation facility in Albany is now complete, including six self-contained units and an administration building. Operational funding of $2.4 million over two years has been provided through a partnership between the Commonwealth and State Governments. The project will support up to 166 women and children annually once fully operational.

The project represents a significant public investment in social infrastructure to expand crisis accommodation in the Great Southern region. The Cook Labor Government has committed an additional $6.9 million toward stage two of the facility.
