THE SANCTUARYVISION
To be a safe haven for women, and their children, fleeing
domestic violence, where they feel supported to heal and, when
ready, move on to independent and happy lives, safe from harm.
MISSION
The Sanctuary – The Hills Women’s Shelter was established to
deliver the highest standard of crisis accommodation and care for
women, and their children, who are fleeing domestic violence,
supported by a dedicated, best-practice service-team to foster
the creation and development of pathways to independent and
safe living.
ABOUT THE SANCTUARY
On April 21, 2016, The Sanctuary – The Hills Women’s Shelter threw
open its doors in Sydney's North-West, in partnership with Women's
Community Shelters.
At the Sanctuary we provide safe, temporary, supported
accommodation, for up to 3 months, for women and their children
who are escaping homelessness and/or domestic violence.
The Sanctuary offers a client-centered approach to collaborative
case management. Our specialist team of caseworkers, led by the
shelter manager, work around the clock, 24 hours a day, to support
their clients. We also offer a child-focused caseworker, who
specialises in childhood trauma and its effects. We work hand-in-
hand with clients to support, advocate for, and help them to
access all that they might need to live safe lives free from
violence.
The Sanctuary provides a safe-haven for women and children
regardless of their age, sexuality, cultural and linguistic diversity.
The Sanctuary is also one of a few shelters in NSW that can provide
for women with a disability and women with larger families.

CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT
It is once again an honour to present to you The Sanctuary -
The Hill's Women's Shelter's Annual Report.
Since April 2016, our team at The Sanctuary have been
working around the clock, seven days a week, to provide crisis
care to women, and their children, who are leaving domestic
violence.
Each woman's story is heartbreaking, however, our
phenomenal team - led by our extraordinary Shelter Manager,
Donna Cavanagh - nurture miracles to life every day for our
mums and their children.YVONNE KEANE
CHAIR OF THE BOARD
The awe-inspiring quality of the life-changing work that takes place within The Sanctuary is
evidenced best by the exceptional outcomes we have achieved. Of the 100 women and children who
came to call The Sanctuary 'home' this past year, all but one are living safe and independent new
lives, away from violence. 99 lives are forever changed, which is a breathtakingly meaningful
and exhilarating result.
This year, The Sanctuary Board has seen some refreshment of Directors, and we have been delighted
to welcome both Shae McLoughlin and Shayne Miller to the Board.
The Board has once again worked to develop and operationalise our strategic plan and to sharpen
the resources and tools available to support our front-line staff. Outwardly we contonue to deploy
innovative solutions to help breakdown barriers and to enhance pathways for women to safe and
independent lives.
One such program is the Walk the Talk program, which was birthed by founding Director and leading
educator, Dannielle Miller, in partnership with The Sanctuary, and has since been rolled out to 15
schools across NSW by Women's Comunity Shelters (WCS). Walk the Talk is a pioneering program
building high school student’s awareness of domestic violence and women’s homelessness, and
empowers students to support the local women and children in need by ‘adopting’ a local shelter,
such as The Sanctuary. The Sanctuary was fortunate to be 'adopted by 3 Walk the Talk schools -
Oakhill College, Beded Polding College and Rouse Hill High School. We are looking forward working
with WCS and Dannielle to roll this program out to additional schools in and around Sydney's
Northwest in the year ahead.
06 | Annual Report 2019
CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT
We would like to acknowledge and thank our remarkable support partners, QIC Castle Towers, for
continuing their unprecedented support of The Sanctuary. QIC provide us with so much more than
the gorgeous purpose-renovated home that we know as The Sanctuary. Their marketing, brand
awareness and fundraising support goes beyond generosity, and speaks directly to the heart and
culture of their business.
The Hills community has yet again taken our breath away with their continued kindness and charity.
Because of their support we have meals on the table every day. Because of their support we have
easter egg hunts, birthday treats and Christmas presents to delight our children. Because of their
support a new mother and child who arrive with nothing, will have everything they need within hours
of settling in. Because of their support we have freshly groomed lawns for children to play on and
Mum's to sit and enjoy a moment in the sun with a cup of tea. Because of our community, mums and
kids are able to move into homes with of all the furniture and furnishings they could dream of, to
start their new lives.
To the unsurpassed team at Women's Community Shelters (WCS), led by their incomparable CEO,
Annabelle Daniel, and the WCS Board, thank you will never seem enough. The heart of The Sanctuary
beats strong because of your unparalleled vision, wisdom, action and altruism. You have not only
changed the game across the sector - you have, and continue to, change the lives of countless
women and children across NSW.
And, finally, to the heroic women and children who have found their way to our Sanctuary, we want
you to know that you are valuable - and that you deserve nothing less than to enjoy safe, happy and
wonderful lives. Your strength, courage and dignity is an inspiration to us all.
Warmest,

SHELTER MANAGER'S
REPORT
The Sanctuary has been provided comfort, safety, shelter and
support for 39 women and 61 children who have escaped
Family Domestic Violence, over the past twelve months. This
brings the total number of clients since operations
commenced in 2016, to 137 women and 238 children.
The operating model encompasses comprehensive case
management and support provided to our families has proven
to very effective in assisting families’ transition into their own
properties and commence a life free from violence.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
The case work model is based on client centred and trauma-informed practice, delivered by
qualified professional case workers.
Our shelter has been beautifully furnished with donations from Local businesses and community
members. The majority of staple food items and household items are donated by individual and
smaller community groups. We are regularly gifted with store vouchers from community groups and
individuals which allows our mums to purchase their own clothes and personal needs when arriving
at the shelter, providing autonomy, independence and dignity which often they have not
experienced in a very long time, if ever.
Over the past year our families have attended local support groups, family yoga sessions, school
holiday athletic programs along with in house hairdressers attending to the families, and excursions
to local facilities. Our resident children attend local schools and, as the Sanctuary has built strong
community networks, the schools are very accommodating and welcoming, assisting with the healing
process (trauma) many of the children have experienced.
In addition to the work we do with the clients who are accommodated at The Sanctuary, our
dedicated Outreach Case Worker, works to continue providing support our clients when they have
transitioned into their own property. I feel this component of our service is one of pivotal
importance as the families navigate different and changed living circumstances. Our Outreach
worker provides client support by attending Court hearings, school meetings, and arranges
additional external referrals for the families. as needs are identified. Clients have a familiar person
they have already established rapport and trust with supporting them on their journey is
invaluable and is testament to the recorded positive outcomes.
Our Child Support Worker implements weekly programs for the children based on the individual and
groups needs of the current residents. Art and craft material is readily available for these activities.

DONNA CAVANAGHSHELTER MANAGER

SHELTER MANAGER'S REPORT
ften the mums join in with the activities and we have received some beautiful artwork that has been
donated back to the shelter which now hangs in our living / communal areas.
The property remains well maintained with the families contributing to the household duties of the
shelter. QIC attends to the general maintenance of the property including servicing of the air
conditioning units, fire safety equiptment and general building requirements. We have a local
gardening company that tends to the yard fortnightly, they have generously donated their time and
labour since the opening of the shelter in 2016. Our local Bakers delight store donates bread on a
weekly basis.
We are grateful to our Volunteer Coordinators. who coordinate our donations. The aqcuistion of a
free storage unit locally to store the donations, has proved extremely valuable. The donations assist
the familiesm with transitioning from the shelter as well as daily requirements for currents
clients.
Staff retention has been excellent since operations commenced. Staff receive regular training,
supervision and peer group supervision supporting their professional development and client service
delivery. I attend regular Board meetings and Manager’s meetings bi-monthly at Women’s
Community Shelter’s with sister Shelter Managers and WCS staff.
I have presented at several events including a Breakfast Event at Barangaroo for 250 people, a
Catholic Teachers forum at Lidcombe Catholic Club, and several smaller events in the Hills District
including fundraising events coordinated by the Board members.
We receive on average 6-8 requests for support when a vacancy becomes available. Our referrals
come from Police, Hospital Staff, Domestic Violence Line, and Link to Home, Housing NSW, Dept.
Community & Justice (former FACS) and several local agencies. During the latter stages of the year
staff will receive training for a new data base as the existing data base will be phased out. The
new data base will be operational in the New Year with of all data being directly reported to AIHW .
DonnaDONNA CAVANAGHSHELTER MANAGER
We look forward to the future of The
Sanctuary and the opportunity to
continue to the life changing work that
encompasses all that we do.
Yours sincerely,

OUR MAJOR PARTNERSWOMEN'S COMMUNITY SHELTERS
The Sanctuary is proud to belong to the Women's Community
Shelters (WCS) network. They are our partners every day, in every
way.
Existing services cannot meet the demand for crisis accommodation
for women who are homeless. More than one in two women across
Australia who seek a bed in a crisis shelter are turned away every
night, mostly due to a lack of space. And these are just the ones who
find out they can ask for a safe place to go.
Women’s Community Shelters works with communities, such as The
Hills, to establish new shelters, which provide short term emergency
accommodation and support in a safe environment that enables
homeless women to rebuild self-esteem and achieve control and
fulfilment of their lives.
For a woman to get out of the situation she faces, she needs a
range of support services, not just help finding affordable housing.
These include access to counselling, health care, assistance to
navigate government bureaucracy, legal help, further education and
employment to reestablish control over her life.
At a time of reduced government spending, Women’s Community
Shelters offers a new and ground-breaking ‘tri-partite’ funding
model in which Government, philanthropy/business and community
all work to provide funding to establish and operate shelters.
In addition, WCS brings expertise in governance, intellectual
property, professional development and project management
support to communities looking to establish new shelters. With a
strong and experienced Board and a highly professional team, WCS
is focused on supporting each shelter to develop best practice and
achieve positive individual outcomes for the women staying at the
shelters, while remaining cost efficient
WCS has generously underwritten up to two thrids of The
Sanctuary's funding during our first two years of operation, and will
underwrite The Sanctuary's funding by up to 50% per annum from
year three onwards.

SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT PARTNERS
Our community of support is extraordinary. We are supported by numerous community groups and
individuals, to whom the organization remains grateful.
OUR COMMUNITY
QIC Castle Towers, along with Women's Community Shelters, are founding support partners of The
Sanctuary.
QIC Castle Towers provide the beautiful, purpose-renovated home that we call The Sanctuary rent
free. Under the management of their expert team, and with the enormous assistance of their skilled
trades men and women, the home has been built to a superb standard. The Sanctuary is able to
offer safe-haven to 6 women and up to 21 children at any one point in time. It has disability access,
and a full yard for kids to be just be kids.
QIC pledged this home to support vulnerable women and children in our community, even before
The Sanctuary was breathed to life. Indeed, their extraordinary pledge of support was a catalyst, in
effect, for The Sanctuary's creation. Without the fundamental support of QIC Castle Towers, nothing
that has been achieved would have been done in quite the same way.
And whilst their support, by way of the provision of a home, is unprecedented, QIC Castle Towers
provide us with so much more than the gorgeous purpose-renovated home that we know as The
Sanctuary. Their marketing, brand awareness and fundraising support goes beyond generosity, and
speaks directly to the heart and culture of their business.
QIC - CASTLE TOWERS
MEGAN HOWIE
The Sanctuary is so grateful to the
incredible Megan, who spends countless
volunteer hours coordinating our
community donations and providing
support to our team.

TREASURER'S REPORT
I am proud to have been involved with The Sanctuary for a
third year to help it continue to provide the dedicated front-
line services is delivers.
The benefit of underwriting and financial support from
Women ’s Community Shelters (WCS) remains the largest
source of revenue and funding for The Sanctuary. This
funding, as planned, has slightly reduced. Donation income
was down on previous financial years, and this has been a
focus of the Board since balance date to restore the level of
donations in the 2020 financial year. HARRY EDWARDS
TREASURER
We have shown a deficit of around $80,000 for the 2019 financial year, the first deficit since its
establishment. There is still sufficient equity within the entity, and almost all assets are cash, enabling
The Sanctuary to sustain future services.
Most expenses were in line with the previous financial year, with some increases to costs associated
with fundraising events, workers compensation insurance and general office expenses. We are
mindful (and grateful) though that without the key support of QIC in providing the facility, we would
not be in such a strong position.
Where they are able to, clients make rental payments to assist with the costs of services provided.
We look forward to the next 12 months and I commend this report to you.
Yours sincerely,
HARRY EDWARDSTREASURER

Going Concern
This financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The ability of the association to continue to operate as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the association to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its liabilities. The members of the association believe that the going concern assumption is appropriate.

Notes to the Financial Statements The Sanctuary - The Hills Women's Service & Shelter Inc
For the year ended 30 June 2019
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
The Directors’ have prepared the financial statements on the basis that The Sanctuary - The Hills Women's Service & Shelter Inc is a non-reporting entity because there are no users dependent on a general purpose financial report. The financial report is therefore a special purpose financial report that has been prepared in order to meet the requirements of the Australian Charities

New and amended standard adopted by the association
The Association has adopted all the amendments to Australian Accounting Standards issued by the Australian Standards Board, which are relevant to and effective for the Association’s financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 July 2017.
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective and not yet been adopted early by the Association

Notes to the Financial Statements
Cash on Hand
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.
Revenue relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at reporting date and where the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed todate as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable
Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rateapplicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Accounts Payable and Other Payables
Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the association during the reporting period that remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
These notes should be read in conjunction with the attached compilation report.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Association’s liabilities for annual leave and long service leave are included in other long-term benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. The expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the timing of the estimated future cash outflows.
Any re-measurements arising from experience adjustments and changes in assumptions are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.
The Association presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Association does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
