OUR TEAM

Pregnancy Problem House is an independent tax deductible charity, founded in Perth, Western Australia in 1986. Our metropolitan locations are in Balcatta, 15 minutes north of the Perth CBD, Langford, 20 minutes south-east of the Perth CBD, and Hamilton Hill, 25 minutes south-west of the Perth CBD. We also operate in regional Western Australia in the Midwest and Goldfields, with online services available for other locations. We are governed by a board of directors and supported by a small administrative staff.

Our services are provided by a team of trained and sensitive volunteers with a wide variety of relevant qualifications. Our team includes counsellors and family therapists, social workers, GPs, midwives, nurses, teachers, youth workers, chaplains, lawyers, accountants, community leaders, property managers, students, retired persons and more. All of our team except for our administrative staff and our counsellors help our clients in a ‘lay’ capacity – that is, we don’t offer medical, legal or financial advice or services, but we can often use our expertise and experience to help clients find professional services in those areas as needed.

Many of our team members have personally experienced unintended or unsupported pregnancy and/or pregnancy loss/trauma and the various choices that accompany those situations. Our board and staff even include several people who first came to Pregnancy Problem House as clients! This unique perspective helps our team to appropriately assist hundreds of individuals and families each year with free, personal and confidential care. We also regularly network with many other agencies and community organisations so that we can help as many people as possible find the help they need.
