NT Safe Houses

Doors begin to open on safe places across the NT. The Australian and Northern Territory Governments today opened a women's safe house and a men's cooling off place in the remote community of Ngukurr, as part of a roll-out of 22 safe places across the Northern Territory as part of the Northern Territory Emergency Response. Ngukurr is one of 15 remote communities in the NT to receive safe places under a joint initiative between the Australian and Northern Territory Governments to improve the safety and protection of Indigenous children and their families.
