Shelter WA is the peak body in Western Australia for the community housing and homelessness sectors.

Our vision is that all people living in Western Australia have a home.

We want 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 wellbeing, 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.
