Welcome

The North Shore Women's Centre exists to celebrate and strengthen women.

NSWC provides a range of services for women; information and referral, counselling, a Community Support Worker, as well as courses & clinics. Courses change each term and are advertised on our website or by calling our office on 444 4618. Clinics include our legal clinic, counselling and holistic health clinics.



You can still enrol in Term 3 classes!

Have a look at the Courses page or call the office and ask us what classes are on. Don't forget that you need to call or email us to enrol in classes. If we don't get the numbers classes can't go ahead and women are often disappointed later when they realise they have missed out.

Korean Counselling

Just a reminder of our Korean Counselling service, where our counsellor is Julia Kwon (Min Kyeong Kwon). Julia is a Korean counsellor who will be counselling Korean women. Julia is grateful that the North Shore Women's Centre is supporting the Korean community and expects the Centre will be a good place for Korean women and adolescents (girls) to get help for personal development, help with their relationships and to live to their full potential.
Please call our Korean counselling Service on (09) 444 2922.
Don't forget we are open Monday through Friday 9-3. If you get through to our voicemail we will get back to you! We would love to see you - come in and see us anytime.
