Overnight care
Winter shelter
WARM organises supervised overnight winter shelter, including hot meals, safe bedding, and breakfast.
How it works
A community approach
to winter shelter.
WARM combines supervised overnight shelter with practical support and connections to other services.
Accessing the program
Referrals through
local service partners.
Participants access the program through agreed local service partners. Referrals are subject to eligibility criteria, program capacity, and initial risk screening to support appropriate and ongoing care.
WARM’s published website does not list the specific eligibility rules or referral partners. Contact WARM to confirm the current pathway before making a referral or planning attendance.
Practical care
Preparing a WARM welcome.
Safe bedding, shared meals, and a welcoming space are part of WARM’s community approach to winter shelter.
