SRCWA is on the move, from Leederville to Belmont.
SRCWA is moving office premises from our long term home at 246 Vincent Street Leederville and moving to 275D Abernethy Road, Belmont from 5th June 2023. Due to a large increase in staff numbers in Dept of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) it became necessary for SRCWA to find a new home for the office administration. Through extra funding supplied by DLGSC, SRCWA was able to find suitable premises to house the organisation. The City of Belmont has embraced SRCWA and with their support our new home has been found. 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 the WA Seniors community, we also sincerely thank DLGSC for assisting with all the relocating costs.
