The health, safety and wellbeing of our members, as well as the community, is front and centre of everything we do.
On Sunday 10 May, the State’s Premier, Mark McGowan, released WA’s four-phase Coronavirus roadmap.
We’re now working on ways to return our services to normal. We would like to reassure you – the safety of our community and staff remain our first priority.
As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve, we at the Uniting Church Western Australia are adapting and responding to the global pandemic while adhering to the latest Government advice.
We will be placing information on this page, to provide much-needed certainty and hopefully some reassurance, during this most uncertain time.
