Legal
Advice
The Women’s
Centre has free 30 minute consultations available during the first
week of each month. Phone the Centre and make an appointment.
The primary
objective of this consultation is to advise you if you have a legal
problem, and whether you need to see a solicitor. If you do need to
see a solicitor the lawyer can advise you about your eligibility for
Legal Aid and give you some idea of the legal procedures involved
in solving your particular problem.
If you don’t have a legal problem the lawyer is sure she can
give you some sound practical advice anyway.
The lawyer
can also advise you about facilities available to help you solve your
own problems, such as the Disputes Tribunal, Family Court Counselling
etc. All consultations are held in private and are strictly confidential.
Who
for? This service is being offered to all women.
When? and Where? During the first week of the month at the
offices of Thomas Dewar Sziranyi Letts, Level
2 Corner of Queens Drive and Margaret Street.
Appointments: Phone the Women’s Centre to make an appointment
on 569 2711.

Training and ongoing volunteer programme.
Therapeutic Massage & Relaxation Massage
Massage has many wide-ranging benefits that affect both our bodies and our minds.
When muscles are overworked, waste products such as lactic acid can accumulate in the muscle, causing soreness, stiffness, and even muscle spasm.
Massage improves circulation, which increases blood flow, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to body tissues. This can assist the lymphatic system in the elimination of waste products, speed healing after injury, and enhance recovery from disease. It eases tense and knotted muscles and stiff joints, improving mobility and flexibility.
Therapeutic massage can be used to promote general well-being and enhance self-esteem, while boosting the circulatory and immune systems to benefit blood pressure, circulation, muscle tone, digestion, and skin tone.
And it feels great!

Reflexology at the Women's Centre
WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Reflexology is a natural, gentle, relaxing method of activating the healing powers of the body. A totally safe, non-invasive therapy administered to the feet, hands or ears. There is no manipulating of the body or undue application of pressure applied. BENEFITS Reflexology can reduce stress (responsible, some say, for 75% of all illnesses) and induces deep relaxation. Other benefits are reported to include:
- Revitalises energy
- Improved sleep patterns
- Cleanses the body of toxins and impurities
- Stimulation of creativity and productivity
- Improved circulation
- Improved breathing
- Relief from digestive disorders
- Hormonal balance
- Migraine and headache relief
Reflexology is not an alternative to conventional medicine and reflexologists do not diagnose or claim to cure illness.
APPOINTMENTS
There will be a charge for each appointment of which the majority will be donated to the Women’s Centre:
Half an Hour $15.00
One Hour $30.00
If the above prices are out of your reach but would still like to experience reflexology do not let this stop you from calling to negotiate a suitable price.
