The Perth Central Service Office for AA in Western Australia, with meetings running every day of the week across the metro and country WA. Meetings are free, anonymous and open to anyone with a desire to stop drinking; the office is staffed weekdays 9am–4.30pm and the helpline answers around the clock.
Peer-run mutual support groups for mental wellbeing, meeting weekly for two hours followed by refreshments, with members keeping in touch between meetings. Groups run face to face around Perth and online as eGrow, and the free-call line connects you with the nearest group.
A WA alcohol-and-other-drug support organisation running free recovery-focused groups across the metro — SMART Recovery meetings in Perth, Fremantle, Armadale, Thornlie and Rockingham, an online LGBTQIA+SB group, and SMART Family & Friends sessions for people supporting someone else. Most groups need no booking: just come along.
Most of what’s on this page costs nothing. Peer support groups, recovery meetings, walking groups and community circles run on volunteers, donations or small term fees, and several of the organisations listed have operated in Perth for decades.
The formats differ in ways worth knowing before you walk in. Open meetings admit anyone, including people just wanting to see what happens; closed meetings are for people who identify with the group’s purpose. Peer-led groups are run by people with their own experience of the thing the group is about; facilitated groups have a trained convenor. Men’s groups and women’s circles tend to run as ongoing series where the same people return each month, so joining is easier at the start of a term.
One practical warning: meeting times and venues in this category change more often than any other part of the directory, and church halls and community centres get rebooked at short notice. Ring or check the organisation’s own page before you drive across town.
