Women's safe place
Everybody needs a break every once in a while. The Retreat is intended as a short reprieve from the sometimes-busy Bundoora campus.
Furnished with a choice of seating and lounging options, stocked with puzzles and light reading, The Retreat is a space for quiet connections, resource gathering and taking a deep breath.
All are welcome at The Retreat.
In entering The Retreat, you will find information and resources about support services and programs. We also provide basic menstrual and sexual health items for no cost for those in need.
Currently anyone can access The Retreat at:
- Bundoora campus HU3-105
Efforts are being made to roll out at all regional campuses in the future.
If you would like to support this initiative, you can donate unopened packets of period products (including tampons or pads) or other unopened basic hygiene materials (for example, soaps and body washes, basic moisturisers, dental hygiene products, sexual health products) to Prevention and Inclusion by sending us an email: respect@latrobe.edu.au letting us know that you are interested in helping stock The Retreat.
