Susan Templeman MP, welcomed Jason Clare MP and I to her electorate to visit the Women’s Cottage in Richmond. The Women's Cottage does incredible work support women and children escaping violence.

The workers at the Women’s Cottage have never been busier and local women have never needed them more. But like so many services across the country, government funding has not kept up with demand.
