Juno – Supporting women and non-binary people in crisis

Introducing Juno

We are a proudly intersectional
feminist organisation.

Since 2002, Juno (formerly known as WISHIN) has been working with women and non-binary people in Melbourne’s north who are experiencing homelessness or family violence.

Our primary role is to support and advocate for individuals and their children. Our approach is non-judgemental, personalised and evidence-based to empower the people we work with to make lasting change in their lives. We use and develop progressive and creative responses to homelessness, gendered poverty and trauma.

Our staff are skilled in working with a diverse range of women and non-binary people, including those experiencing complex challenges such as trauma, mental illness or experience with the justice system. Juno partners with other community sector organisations to help our clients access specialist support and resources.

Juno is a proudly intersectional feminist organisation. We advocate to improve systems and structures which contribute to gendered poverty, homelessness and family violence.
