Our Centre is manned lay staff and volunteers from the Dampier area, center provides a welcome and friendship, helping seafarers in unfamiliar surroundings to overcome difficulties of language and culture.

Helps and counsels seafarers in need, in times of crisis or in cases of injustice and, by linking with parish clergy, extends support to their families. Works closely with other denominations showing seafarers that Christians are united in their concern for their well-being.
