Pathway to financial independence.
Our 2 chair hairdressing facility & Massage/Beauty table salon offers qualified single mums, the opportunity to rent a salon chair or table to launch their own hairdressing/Beauty business — empowering them to achieve financial independence and build a brighter future that will work conveniently around their family.
We are also in the process of seeking some business mentors to equip them on building and managing their business requirements.

Pathway to stable housing.
Our Housing Program supports clients in moving from transitional accommodation to secure, long-term rental housing—building stability and independence for the future. Assistance is offered through housing applications and referrals etc.
Lighthouse currently has two sublet properties that are occupied by clients who are moving forward.
