The State Government has released a restricted Request for Tender (RFT) seeking an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation or Registered Aboriginal Business to operate the Perth Aboriginal Short Stay Accommodation service.
The Perth Short Stay will provide affordable, culturally safe and welcoming accommodation for Aboriginal people visiting Perth, creating a supportive environment where guests can maintain connections to family, community, health care, education, employment and other essential services.
The successful provider will be responsible for delivering a comprehensive service, including guest intake and accommodation management, culturally responsive support, assistance accessing and navigating services, meal provision and housekeeping.
Located in Cannington, the Perth Short Stay will accommodate up to 100 guests once built and represents a significant investment in improving outcomes for Aboriginal visitors to the metropolitan area.
The Perth Short Stay is expected to welcome its first guests in 2027 and will become part of Western Australia's established network of Aboriginal Short Stay Accommodation services.
The RFT for the operation of the Perth Aboriginal Short Stay Accommodation can be found at the Tenders WA website and will close 12 November 2026.
