What Cyrenian House does

Cyrenian House is a not-for-profit alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment service provider founded in 1981 and headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. The organisation operates four residential therapeutic communities (Rick Hammersley Centre, Serenity Lodge, Munda Mia, and Nannup), three low-medical withdrawal units (located at Midland, Nannup, and Serenity), prison-based programs including the 77-bed Wandoo women's therapeutic community and the ADAPT program delivered with the Western Australian Department of Justice, outreach services including CHMR in the Kimberley region, transitional housing, peer-support and family-support programs (including the Six STEPS program), and the Saranna Early Childhood Education Centre. It also delivers individual counselling free of charge to the community and runs a long-standing Volunteer AOD Counsellor Training Program.

The business model is that of a contracted human-services non-profit. The majority of revenue is sourced from Federal and State government contracts for AOD treatment, supplemented by donations and bequests, and by resident contributions capped at 85% of Centrelink payments. Service delivery is accredited under the AOD Human Service Standard and the ATCA Standard. Cyrenian House partners with a range of organisations — including Next Step (NMCADS joint delivery), Milliya Rumurra, Richmond Wellbeing, and Holyoake — to extend its clinical, cultural, and family-service reach across metropolitan Perth and regional Western Australia. With approximately 280 employees, the organisation functions as one of the larger specialist AOD treatment providers in the state.

Growth is being pursued through facility expansion (IDACC construction), deepening of the justice-involved service line, and broadening into wraparound services such as early childhood education and family support. Revenue concentration is structurally high, with the funder base dominated by a small number of government departments whose contract decisions drive the organisation's financial trajectory.
