Relocation of City of Perth Accredited Services
The City of Perth supports people experiencing homelessness and hardship through its Accredited Services site, which brings together a range of organisations to provide access to meals, clothing, healthcare services and other essential support.
On Monday 22 June, the Accredited Services site relocated from Moore Street to its new location at 158 Royal Street, East Perth.
The relocation was necessary as Moore Street will experience increased hospital-related traffic as part of the State Government’s Royal Perth Hospital Emergency Department Expansion Project, and will no longer be a suitable location for the services.
City of Perth Accredited Services operating hours:
- Monday to Friday | 5pm - 8pm
- Sundays | 8pm - 11am
