Emily Corringham, 19, claimed caseworkers told her she had to leave because it was easier for her to go than the other woman who has children.

"I feel like they chucked me on the street when I'm at rock bottom with a mental illness. I'd been living there nearly six weeks, now I'm out here by myself," she said.

"I feel really judged, because I don't have kids, I have to get kicked out."

The refuge provided Miss Corringham with three days' motel accommodation after she was required to leave.

Miss Corringham said a resident was waiting for her with two other people outside the refuge on Friday night and she then called a friend who arrived with another person and the parties spoke to each other, but no violence occurred.

The refuge is required to uphold strict confidentiality and cannot talk about individual cases to protect the interests of residents, but a spokeswoman from the organisation issued a statement about the matter.

"All I can really say is we acted in accordance with our policy and procedures, we are a professional agency and our role is to respectfully support women and children," she said.

"This particular client was treated respectfully and supported with alternative options.

"I can say on behalf of the support workers who have worked around this case it is very disappointing for them."

Miss Corringham has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, and depression and claimed she was raped the week before her eviction.

Angela Corringham, Miss Corringham's mother, said it seemed her daughter and the other women were both in the wrong, however the refuge should not have abandoned Miss Corringham.

"Last week you couldn't have a conversation with Emily without her breaking down and crying and I was worried she was going to attempt to commit suicide because she has in the past," she said.

"She actually wanted the help this time and was finally starting to get it together and she really needs their help. I think they put her in the too-hard basket," she said.

Angels of the Forgotten CEO Melina Skidmore said the charity had been providing accommodation and meals for Emily this week.

"It's really distressing that it was the easier option to cast her out on the streets," she said.

"She's been through so much, it's not safe for her to be there, she's just not a priority and nobody is prepared to take accountability for her, it's really sad.

"The refuge does great things, they have to conform to regulations they are placed under and with the guidelines they're given they do the best they can."
