LILIAH HAVEN
A community where every mother, regardless of her circumstances, is empowered to overcome obstacles to create a life filled with opportunities for her family to thrive. Where the resilience and strength of mothers is celebrated and supported, their dreams and aspirations are nurtured, and where they are equipped with the tools and resources needed to build a brighter future for themselves and their loved ones.
THE FACILITIES
Liliah Haven is set on a beautiful property in The Rockingham/Baldivis region of Western Australia, approx. 40 minutes south of Perth. With tall Eucalypts, native wildflowers, areas of bush and manicured lawn areas, it is not unusual to see kangaroos resting in the shade, or to be interrupted by the loud kookaburras. It is a place of peace that you will experience the moment you arrive on the property.
Our singles accommodation consists of seven, fully furnished double bedrooms (one for you and one for your baby) with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. Recently renovated in 2022, each double room comes furnished but with ample space for residents to add their own personal touches. Our common living and dining room is large and spacious, with a fully equipped kitchen and lots of natural light and space for babies to play and crawl.
OUR MISSION
Liliah Haven creates supportive communities for pregnant women and young families by providing essential resources, guidance and opportunities which empower individuals to make positive life choices for their future and the well-being of their children. Through a range of programs, and by referring to trusted services, we nurture healthier and more fulfilling lives to break the cycle of adversity. Our commitment to stability and support ensures families receive the tools they need to thrive, fostering a Rockingham community where every family flourishes and contributes to our collective wellbeing.
