Branch Committees
Silver Chain has 18 Branch Committees that play an integral role in supporting the enhancement of client services and the up skilling of staff via training and development opportunities.
Branch Committees have existed since the early days of Silver Chain. Branches opened in Leederville, Fremantle, North Perth, Cottesloe and Perth in the early 1900s. Rural branches soon followed along with the introduction of new services. The Albany Branch Committee, one of the first rural centres, was established in 1946 and remains active today in supporting the delivery of services to people in need.
Our Branch Committees raise valuable funds for Silver Chain and are instrumental in helping us identify the health care needs of local communities. The local knowledge they provide means that we are able to develop very effective local solutions to local problems.
The funds raised by the Branch Committees enable Silver Chain to purchase invaluable equipment that allow us to provide a high quality service for our clients, develop new premises such as the Rockingham Respite Cottage and Walpole Health Centre and deliver on going staff development and training.
If you would like to become a member of a Branch Committee in your area and would like to support their activities, please contact your local Silver Chain Service Centre or our Customer Operations Centre on (08) 9242 0242 or country callers on 1300 650 803 (for the cost of a local call) for details. You can also make an inquiry via info@silverchain.org.au.
