A new First Nations-owned $9 million transition facility on Darkinjung Country in New South Wales will further empower rehabilitated Indigenous women to have meaningful impacts on their return to community.

Located in Wyong the new accommodation space can safely house 40 Indigenous and non-Indigenous women each year transitioning from residential programs at The Glen for Women Rehabilitation Centre.

The new female-only transition facility will provide a safe housing space for women to obtain job-skills training, seek employment opportunities and receive essential social support services as they transition back in to the community.

The acquisition on Wednesday by the Glen Group, which oversees the Gulgul Nyugang Aboriginal Corporation and Ngaimpe Aboriginal Corporation, continues its delivery of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services along the NSW central coast, which began 15 years ago with its Glen for Men program.

Funding of $2.7 million from the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation helped The Glen Group acquire the female-only, First Nations-run property, with daily engagement with Indigenous culture a core focus for women there.

Cultural dance and education, significant site visits, meetings with Elders, traditional cooking, artistic pursuits, storytelling and craftsmanship are some holistic elements of the new program.

Emphasis on the womens' connection to land, ancestry and Indigenous identity also aims to embed a sense of familial and communal belonging.

Participants can also draw inspiration and behavioural learnings by talking with Elders and Indigenous workers who have overcome substance abuse problems and share their lived experiences of recovery and reintegration.

The Glen for Women program has already resulted in 145 females being rehabilitated since it began in 2022, modelled on the group's existing rehab and transition programs for Aboriginal men.

The womens-only health service was conceived in 2018 when a female community advisory committee recognised the need for an Aboriginal community-controlled rehabilitation centre for women in NSW.

Former participants at Wednesday's opening share personal stories about their time in recovery and feeling empowered after their 12-week program there.

One former resident said the comfort of knowing a transition house was now available for women in recovery gave them renewed hope of making meaningful returns from addiction to lead better, healthier lives.

"I'm comforted knowing other women will be given the opportunity to live a life free from addiction, and go home healthy to their families," the ex-resident said.

ILSC group chair Ian Hamm emphasised the importance of holistic health care services for First Nations people, particularly those in vulnerable circumstances.

"The ILSC's investment in this project shows our ongoing commitment to placing people and community at the heart of everything we do," he said.

"We are proud to have been part of this essential facility, which will provide additional support and services to those in our community who need it most.

"The Glen Group proudly delivers a proven service, deeply rooted in cultural identity and the betterment of vulnerable individuals and we appreciated their tireless efforts."

The Glen chairperson Cheryl Bailey said the Indigenous groups were grateful the ILSC's support, which would give rehabilitated women further scope for success once they had finished the 12-week program.

"This new program will give Indigenous women the same opportunity as The Glen for Men's male clients ... and we are very grateful for the support of our women," she said.
