About Jarrah House
Jarrah House at Malabar in south-eastern Sydney, New South Wales, is a therapeutic residential drug and alcohol treatment service for women and for women with their children. The Women’s Alcohol and Drug Advisory Centre runs the service, which describes its approach as evidence-based and transdisciplinary.

The service states that it is accredited under the Australian Service Excellence Standard. Treatment is government-funded through New South Wales Health, so no fee applies, and the number for enquiries is (02) 9661 6555. The length of the residential programme is not listed.

Jarrah House Alcohol and Drug Services
Jarrah House provides residential rehabilitation for women, including women who bring their children, followed by an aftercare programme. The Women’s Alcohol and Drug Advisory Centre describes the treatment as therapeutic and transdisciplinary, meaning different disciplines work together on one plan rather than running separate parallel streams.
Withdrawal management and day programmes are not listed at Jarrah House, so a woman who needs medically supervised withdrawal would usually complete that step elsewhere first. Named therapies, medications, assessment arrangements, age limits and the substances treated are not set out publicly. Application and referral pathways appear on the service’s own website, and the aftercare stage is worth asking about early, since it shapes what happens after discharge.

How Much Does Treatment at Jarrah House Cost?
Treatment at Jarrah House is free. The residential programme is government-funded through New South Wales Health and delivered by the Women’s Alcohol and Drug Advisory Centre, so a woman accepted into the service pays nothing for her stay, the therapeutic programme or the aftercare that follows it.
No private pay rate is published for Jarrah House, and private health insurance, Medicare rebates, NDIS and WorkCover arrangements are not listed for this service. Travel to Malabar and everyday items for the stay are the practical costs, along with whatever children need. Because the length of the residential programme is not published, ask the intake team how long a stay usually runs when you make contact.

Jarrah House Reviews
Reviews of Jarrah House from around the web are limited, which is common for women’s residential services where privacy matters to those who attend and to their children. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for Jarrah House, and any woman who has completed the programme at Malabar is welcome to share her experience.
Public comment about the Women’s Alcohol and Drug Advisory Centre tends to describe the organisation rather than life inside the house. An account of how the transdisciplinary team worked in practice, what the days were like with children present, and how the aftercare programme carried on afterwards would be the most useful thing a reader could find.
