Fleurieu Phoenix Program

The Fleurieu Phoenix program was developed to provide support for socially isolated and vulnerable women (16-80 years) of the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula.

Entry into the program is by partner agency or self-referral with the first year of the program dedicated to building women’s confidence, connections and knowledge of agency support.

It has included activities such as

  • hair and beauty care
  • yoga and mindfulness
  • financial literacy
  • life coaching
  • post-separation parenting
  • self protection
  • basic car maintenance
  • cooking on a budget
  • shopping on a budget

In the second year of the program, women are supported to develop and action a life plan that enables them to stay socially connected, maintain wellbeing and live their best lives; whether that be employment, study options, volunteering, retirement or another venture.

Fleurieu Phoenix Program is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services. For more information go to www.dss.gov.au.
