The South Taranaki Women’s Centre was established in 2001. The centre was renamed in 2018 to the South Taranaki Whānau Centre, to move with the times and be more inclusive to all our Whanau and community. The centre has a warm inviting friendly atmosphere, which we pride ourselves in, so our clients feel comfortable and relaxed when entering.
Our purpose and strategy at the Whānau Centre is to provide a safe and supportive friendly environment for the empowerment of our families and Whānau. Our focus is on our clients and what is happening for them currently, supporting their choices in a non-judgmental way with the decisions they make.
We are located at 56 Disraeli Street in Hāwera.
