About Us Detour House was established in 1984 as a Halfway House for homeless women affected by drug, and or alcohol dependence. Detour House is funded by the Department of Community Services via the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program. We have seven beds for women to stay up to three months. All women who meet the admission criteria, regardless of religious or cultural beliefs, sexual preference, transgender identity, political affiliation, disability or HIV/AIDS status, are admitted. Priority is given to women who are Aboriginal, from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Backgrounds (CALD) and who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness. Detour House Inc is also fully accredited by Quality Management Services (QMS) to provide the highest possible standard of care to our clients. As a not-for-profit organisation Detour House Inc is a Deductible Gift Recipient endorsed by the Australia Tax Office, as such donations of $2.00 or more are tax deductible.
