Frances: Free Film Screening

About

Frances has a job. What she doesn’t have is a home.

Frances is a short film drawn from the real stories of older women. Women who have worked all their lives, raised families and cared for others, and still find themselves with nowhere secure to live.

Homes for Older Women (HOW) Blue Mountains invites you to a free screening of the film, followed by a Q&A.

Older women’s housing insecurity doesn’t come out of nowhere. Lower pay, years out of paid work caring for others, less super, and for many women, leaving a violent relationship with nothing. It all adds up over a lifetime, and it lands hardest in older age.

Come along, watch the film, and stay for the conversation. Speakers include an older woman with lived experience of housing insecurity, and Trish Doyle MP.

When: Tuesday 1 December 2026, 6pm for a 6.30pm start

Where: Tibbi Whalan Hall, 81–83 Katoomba Street, Katoomba

Cost: Free. Refreshments served.

Booking is essential so we can cater for you! If your plans change, please cancel your ticket or let us know.
