The City of Perth is consistently working in partnership with the WA Government and community services sector to address the impacts of COVID-19 on people sleeping rough in our city.

The City is continuing to support the coordination of services both in the not-for-profit sector but also through goodwill and community groups, including the homelessness accreditation site at Moore Street. 

The City of Perth continues to run SafeCity services across the city to increase vigilance in the community. SafeCity Rangers provide community members with advice on crime and safety in the city, undertake reviews of premises using crime prevention best practices and advise on how to report incidents. 
 
City of Perth Safe City Patrols operate seven days a week from 7am to 9pm across all areas of the city. The patrols are undertaken by City staff and include additional foot and vehicle patrols. In addition, the CityWatch Surveillance team monitors the vast suite of CCTV cameras 24/7/365. 
 
Outreach services provide additional welfare support to the vulnerable, giving direction to where services and help can be found, while liaising with State-run services for persons in need.

Please visit wa.gov.au for the latest advice on COVID-19 restrictions.

Visitors can use the WA Government’s new ServiceWA app to check-in using the QR codes at each event and show their proof of COVID-19 vaccinations or medical exemptions. Manual registers will also be available.
