George Jones Child Advocacy Centre - Armadale

The George Jones Child Advocacy Centre was opened on Tuesday 1st March 2011 by the Honorable Colin Barnett, Premier of Western Australia.  It was a celebration of innovation and success for Parkerville Children and Youth Care, local agencies and government partners who began in 2007 to design, develop and implement this new service for children and young people who have been harmed.

The George Jones Child Advocacy Centre enables services traditionally only provided in the city to be provided in the community of Armadale for children and young people in surrounding suburbs.

The child friendly facility is a place of hope for children and young people who have been abused, bringing together child abuse professionals who support the needs of child victims and their families.

This Child Advocacy Centre is an easily accessible visible service in the community, promoting the importance of child safety and wellbeing as well as running community activities and programmes and supports professionals in their work, facilitating ongoing learning for those who work with children.
