Leichhardt Women’s Community Health Centre website provides a QUICK EXIT on every page. This function allows you to leave the site immediately to avoid discovery.

Clicking the button at the top of the page, will open a NEW website tab with the weather for Leichhardt from the Bureau of Meterology.  The existing window will also redirect to the Sydney Morning Herald Homepage.

We believe this procedure will arouse less suspicion than simply closing your browser window or shutting off your computer.

Of course, nothing is foolproof and an individual who is familiar with computers would be able to trace your browsing back to this website.

Our hope is that if there is no immediate evidence on your monitor screen, there will be no cause for suspicion or reason to investigate further.

Please remember to follow the instructions on this page and erase any evidence of your visit as soon as it’s safe to do so.
