A first for Southern Cross
April 15 2008
The Department of Housing and Works has announced that Southern Cross Care (WA) (SCC), through its subsidiary company SCCWA Limited, is the first organisation to be registered as a Growth Provider of Community Housing in Western Australia.
This registration will enable SCC to work with the Department to provide high quality, affordable housing to older Western Australians of limited means.
Meeting the accommodation needs of poorer, older people is what led to the establishment of SCC in 1966 and this latest development will ensure that the tradition continues.
