Relocation of Moore Street Accredited Services
The City currently supports people experiencing homelessness and hardship through its Moore Street Accredited Services site, partnering with a range of organisations to provide access to meals, clothing, healthcare services and essential amenities.
As part of the State Government’s Royal Perth Hospital Emergency Department Expansion Project, Moore Street will see increased hospital-related traffic and will no longer be suitable for the services.
From Monday, 22 June, services will relocate to 158 Royal Street, East Perth and operate as City of Perth Accredited Services.
Operating hours will remain the same:
- Monday to Friday, 5pm to 8pm
- Sundays, 8am to 11am
What happens next?
We recognise the critical role the Accredited Services play in supporting vulnerable members of the community and have worked with the State Government to minimise disruption and support continuity of services during the transition.
The City has also worked with service providers to keep them informed and ensure potential impacts to their services have been considered.
The Moore Street site will continue operating as usual until services conclude on Sunday, 21 June.
Services will start at 158 Royal Street, East Perth at 5pm on Monday, 22 June.

Why can’t the Accredited Services remain at Moore Street?
