St Bart’s is a Western Australian not-for-profit organisation founded in 1963 by the Anglican Church as a small homeless shelter for men. For nearly 60 years, we have been standing by the side of vulnerable Western Australians experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness, mental health challenges, trauma and hardship. Since our foundation, we have evolved into a larger organisation that provides progressive, person-centred and trauma-informed recovery support to people in need, regardless of background, age, gender or ethnicity. We are committed to empowering people to rebuild their lives and achieve their goals through supported accommodation and services. Our person-centred services are based on the understanding that many of our consumers have experienced trauma of some kind. We work collaboratively with our consumers to build trust and identify the goals they want to achieve. We then set about supporting them to achieve those goals and connect them with external services, such as alcohol and drug counselling, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and medical, dental and mental health support services. For consumers in our transitional accommodation programs, we support them to secure and maintain long-term housing in the community.
