ABOUT US

Welcome to Westerly Family Centre

The Westerly Family Centre is your friendly local not for profit Community and Neighbourhood Centre, located on the beautiful coast of Rockingham 47 km to the south of Perth, Western Australia. 

We originally opened on the 27th October 1990, purposely built for a government run 3 year old program. Over time we have become a busy hub for the Cooloongup/Rockingham community, a place for people to come together, a real testament to our community as we support and facilitate connections in our community.  We are managed by a volunteer committee and receive funding from the State Government through the Department of Communities under the Empowering Communities Program.

Westerly Family Centre provides rooms for hire and activities/events for the community including children birthday parties. 

We currently have a variety of community user groups that bring a diverse range of activities and support to the community. We also collaborate with a variety of other local services to bring free workshops and information sessions to the community. 

Our mission at Westerly is to connect with and strengthen the local community by providing a clean, safe facility to operate a wide range of diverse programs to help achieve positive life outcomes. We aim to do this this by following these main objectives:

  • To provide a safe meeting place for people in the Cooloongup/Rockingham area
  • To promote community involvement 
  • To maintain a resource and information centre relevant to the needs of the community
  • Reduce social isolation
  • Identify needs of the community and act on those needs
  • Remain efficient and maintain an effective provision of services
