Anglicare WA

What Anglicare WA does

Anglicare WA is a Western Australian non-profit social services organization founded in 1976, delivering integrated community services across 201 locations in metropolitan Perth and regional centers from the Kimberley to the Great Southern. The organization serves over 102,981 Western Australians annually through 101 services spanning adult and youth housing, homelessness support, family and domestic violence, mental health, financial counselling, child safety, and parenting support. Core service lines include the WA Rent Relief Program (up to $5,000 per household, in partnership with St Vincent De Pauls), Foyer Oxford, YES! Housing, Y-SHAC crisis accommodation, and the Keny Miya Housing First program. Innovation programs such as Foyer Broome, Bounce Wellbeing (Pilbara), Home Stretch WA, and the Sunshine Model are co-designed with communities and external partners including the Innovation Unit.

The business model is government-funded non-profit: the WA Department of Communities is the primary funding source under contract for housing, homelessness, family violence, and child safety programs, with secondary revenue from individual and corporate donations, fundraising appeals (Winter Appeal, MEH Gala), bequests, and limited service fees (Y-SHAC crisis accommodation). GTM is community-led through direct service delivery, tele-practice, mobile outreach, and a referral network spanning Anglican parishes, schools, police, hospitals, and Aboriginal corporations. The organization is connected to the Anglican Church (Dioceses of Bunbury, Perth, and North-West Australia) and led by CEO Mark Glasson and Chair John Atkins, with a 501-1,000 employee base. Technology is not a primary differentiator: service delivery relies on the website, accessibility tools (Recite Me), video/phone, and email rather than proprietary platforms, and there is no disclosed AI/ML capability.
