Our connection to the Anglican Church
Anglicare WA was founded in the 1970s by Archbishop Geoffrey Sambell, driven by a vision to offer charitable and health services in the Perth metropolitan area.
Half a century on, Archbishop Geoffrey’s concept of a welfare and justice arm of the Anglican Church has evolved and expanded in its scope and range of services. In our growth, we acknowledge the importance of our continuing relationship with the Anglican Community across WA, which comprises the Dioceses of Bunbury, Perth and North-West Australia.
Church partnerships with parishes, schools and other Anglican care and service agencies strengthen the work of Anglicare WA and enable the Anglican community to fulfil its calling to serve. These relationships have strengthened our ability to reach out to a growing number of children, young people and families all over our state.
Anglicare WA offer a number of resources to assist faith communities in their community service. We have a range of published materials available through the Diocese of Perth and provide advice and consultancy for local projects through our Church Partnerships team.
