About Home-Start Perth
Families with children under five years old can find life difficult and stressful at times. Home-Start Perth was set up to help such families. Trained volunteers visit families in their own homes, usually on a weekly basis, and offer non-judgemental practical and emotional support, helping to build the family’s confidence and ability to cope. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and are normally parents themselves. Free support is available to any parent or carer with at least one child under 5 years of age.
