Working together is at the heart of Anglicare WA’s mission. Real change happens when people, families and organisations join forces to support one another. Parishes are an important part of this shared effort.
Local parishes are a key part of this work. They are often the first-place people turn to when they need help, whether it’s financial stress, emotional struggles, or feeling alone. Because parishes are so connected to their communities, they can quickly recognise what’s needed and offer support with care and understanding.
Anglicare WA partners with parishes to bring expert services like counselling, housing assistance, financial support and advocacy. This adds to the care parishes already provide, creating a more complete support system for people in need. This partnership helps build communities that are more connected, supported and ready to face challenges together.
We all have a part to play in raising awareness of and preventing family and domestic violence.
Stand Together is an Anglicare WA initiative offering free, one-hour presentations to raise awareness and understanding of the signs and drivers of family and domestic violence and how we as a community can work together toward its prevention.
All parishes within the Anglican Dioceses of Perth and Bunbury are invited to host a Standing Together presentation. Parishioners and members of the wider community are encouraged to attend.
The Anglicare WA Church Community Fund is a grant initiative designed to support Anglican parishes across Western Australia in delivering meaningful community development projects.
Each year, Anglican parishes can apply for grants of up to $1,000 to fund local initiatives that align with their mission and complement Anglicare WA’s work. Past projects have included school breakfast clubs, community gardens, conversation groups for migrants, and support for families in crisis.
Parishes are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity as it provides both financial support and a platform to deepen their impact in the local community.

We acknowledge Aboriginal Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands that our services are based on and pay our respects to Elders of these lands both past and present. Anglicare WA delivers services across many Countries in WA, from Balanggarra Country in the North to Minang Noongar Country in the South. In particular, we wish to acknowledge the Custodians of the lands where our offices operate. We would like to thank the Noongar, Miriuwung Gajerrong, Tjurabalan, Yawuru, Nyikina, Ngarluma, Kariyarra, Nyiyaparli, Martu, and Wangkatja peoples for their wisdom and generosity.
