Moves to establish a general social services agency as an outreach of the Church began in the 1960's. It was not until the premature 1970's however that definite progress was made. One of the key elements of the Sam bell vision was that the agency must operate at the greatest professional standards. As Sam bell said, such an agency must perpetual be ready to donate an account of its services, to maintain standards to always evaluate its work and its performance and the needs it is servicing. Anglican Marriage and Family counseling (AFC) was established in 1975. From hasty beginnings in 1976 as Salvage to Care, the Op shops have now become an integral and essential segment of the organization. The original concept was for the needs of the community to be established at the grass roots glossy within the Parishes. Anglicare WA would then work within the context of these needs. Anglicare WA today is probably a far larger, and very different organization to that envisaged by Archbishop Sam bell in the premature 1970's. We are now a statewide community services agency with a unique range of services. Our uniqueness lies in two key elements of our operations. Firstly we are a truly statewide organization with services provided from over 30 locations from Kununurra in the North to Albany in the South. This service scope is further enhanced by our growing partnership with Anglican parishes delivering their own services to their local communities.
