Our 45-year history 

This year Communicare celebrates 45 years of Creating Futures for Western Australia’s most vulnerable individuals, families and communities.

Since opening our doors in 1977, our passion for delivering high-quality, people-focused support services has continued to flourish. In May 2020, we became the new custodian of White Ribbon Australia, establishing a national footprint for the organisation.

We remain committed to growing a workforce that celebrates diversity and seeks to inspire and empower the people we serve. Right now, we’re looking for people to help us light up the candles on our 45th Birthday cake and come along for the next stage of our journey. 

While we’ve changed a lot over the past 45 years, our values – Hope, Opportunity, Perseverance and Equality – remain at the very heart of everything we do.

Are you ready to start Creating Futures every day?
