SRCWA is now relocated to 275 D Abernethy Road Cloverdale into our new bright and spacious office accommodation and our new phone number is 6118 2716.
The pack down of the SRCWA office furniture etc in Leederville and the relocation and rebuild in the new office in Belmont was somewhat stressful but we are now up and running in the new office. SRCWA would like to sincerely thank DLGSC for housing this organisation for the past 32 years which has enabled us to grow and extend support to the WA Seniors community and for their support with the move into Belmont and also housing the SRC vehicle in secure parking and all our Have a Go Day equipment. SRCWA also thanks the City of Belmont for all their support during the move and relocation.
Farewell but not Good Bye morning tea at DLGSC
On Tuesday 6th June DLGSC held a lovely morning tea so all the staff and SRCWA could get together to reminisce about the past 32 years that SRCWA has been housed by DLGSC and talk about our new premises and how the two organisations will still be working closely together with events and Have a Go Day.
Healthy Lifestyles & Tech Savvy Seniors Event in Byford, 23 June 2023
The day commenced with Seniors arriving at the Kingia Function Centre at Serpentine Jarrahdale Community Recreation Centre in Byford. They had the opportunity to visit static displays and discuss any queries and issues with those in attendance. The Serpentine Jarrahdale Keep Fit group came along and demonstrated one of their classes and invited all the participants to take part in the class which was enjoyed by everyone. This was followed by a healthy morning tea and then Informative presentations were made by Martin from SRCWA Tech Savvy Seniors on home security ie Video Door Bells, Ashley from NBN on the current status of the infrastructure and SCAMS then presentations were concluded with Telstra presenting on 3g services being turned off in 2024 and Telstra’s new mobile phone report a SCAM Number “7226” where SCAM SMS messages can be forward to be blocked on a national level.

A big thankyou to the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale, LiveLighter Healthway, Have a Go News, Telstra and Government of Western Australia for their support of this event. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure the Healthy Lifestyles and Tech Savvy Seniors event was a great success.
Tech Savvy Seniors Presentations
Martin Yates, SRCWA’s Tech Savvy Seniors program manager has delivered some TSS, Home Safety and SCAMS presentations to seniors in the Metropolitan and Peel regions during May/June. The presentations were very well received and many seniors appreciated the information that Martin delivered at the events. In this era of technology the prevalence of SCAMS by phone or computer is growing and we must be ever vigilant in guarding ourselves from getting scammed.
