About Us

St Bart’s is a Western Australian not-for-profit organisation founded in 1963 as a small homeless shelter for men.

We provide safe, supported accommodation and services to people who need it the most. Each year, we stand by the side of more than 500 of Western Australia’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged people, supporting them on their recovery journeys and empowering them to achieve their goals.
