Palmerston Farm Therapeutic Community

Palmerston Farm Therapeutic Community (TC) provides a safe drug and alcohol free environment that offers residents the opportunity to make the positive changes they want to make in their life. This is accomplished through personal growth within a community of concerned people working together to help themselves and one another. The 10 acre semi-rural property is 30 minutes from Perth and can accommodate up to 32 men and women. In addition, Palmerston offers access to transitional housing in the community. The aim of the program is to encourage a sense of recovery and well-being.
