Women's Health Information And Referral Service C Q Inc

The Women's Health Information and Referral Service CQ Inc. (WHIRSCQ) is a communitybased organisation funded by the Women's Safety and Violence Prevention, Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety to support women who need assistance to achieve better health and wellbeing promoting their social and economic participation and independence; particularly those who have been affected by genderbased violence. It also supports Queenslanders affected by sexual violence, assisting them to recover from their experiences. WHIRSCQ Women's Support Services provides free confidential counselling, information, and referrals for women from 14 years of age on issues affecting their wellbeing, including historical domestic and family violence. WHIRSCQ Sexual Violence Support Services provides sexual violence counselling, information and referrals for women, men and youth from 12 years (and their key supports) who have been affected by sexual violence. Counselling is available facetoface, over the phone or through Zoom in our Rockhampton office and outreach offices throughout the Central Queensland region (i.e., Gracemere, Mount Morgan, North Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Blackwater, Emerald and surrounding areas.) In addition, WHIRSCQ provides ongoing Prevention, Capacity Building and Awareness Raising (PCBAR) of genderbased violence, health and wellbeing, and issues across Central Queensland through workshops and training for clients, individuals, government and nongovernment service providers.
