Tom Fisher House

Tom Fisher House is a new acute homeless night shelter in the inner-city suburb of Mount Lawley. The 10-bed shelter will provide chronically homeless people with safe and supervised overnight accommodation.

Located behind a new commercial development on the same site, and nestled between existing residential buildings, Tom Fisher House will be an unobtrusive, referral-only centre in which consumers can access accommodation, support and resources, ablution and kitchen facilities, and basic first aid.

The centre has been designed with two primary focuses:
Safety, for both residents and staff, through rigorous planning developed over a long period; and high quality communal and private spaces in which natural light is abundant and external landscaped areas are visible from all rooms.
