Our service provider, Uniting WA, has recently completed the refurbishment and expansion of Wyn Carr House in Fremantle following a grant from the WA Government that delivered a new 12-unit transitional accommodation facility for women over 55 experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

The $7.01 million State Government grant, including $2.06 million from Lotterywest, funded the construction of the dedicated 12-bedroom facility, as well as refurbishments to the existing heritage building.

The self-contained units each contain a private ensuite, with one fully accessible room for women with disability.

Residents will also benefit from shared kitchen and laundry facilities, communal living areas, a computer room, and secure individual food storage.

Refurbishment works will enhance the existing heritage building on site, blending modern accommodation with the preservation of local character.

Wyn Carr House will provide safe, secure and supported accommodation in Fremantle, helping vulnerable older women access stability and the services they need to rebuild their lives.

Wyn Carr House will open to tenants in May 2026.
