About Us
Championing an effective housing system for everybody in Western Australia.
Shelter WA believes that everyone has a right to a place to call home
Shelter WA is the independent peak body in Western Australia that advocates for social and affordable housing and ending homelessness.
Our vision is a society where everybody has a safe, secure, healthy, and an affordable place to call home, regardless of their life circumstances.
Having a place to call home is a basic human right. Housing unlocks opportunity, enhances health and well-being, provides access to educational and employment options. It enables people to fully participate in community life.
- We understand issues through research, collaboration and engagement
- We lead system reform through policy development advocacy, and strong representation.
- We enable sector capacity through networks, training, resources, events and projects
- We work with our members and key partners, to provide a strong voice and lead the development of an effective housing system.

Our Vision is for all people living in Western Australia to have housing that enables them to thrive.
