ESCARE Family and Community Service
The service consisted of a Family Support Officer, Avis Montgomerie, working from a single room on the verandah of the nurses quarters at Esperance Hospital.
Initially ESCARE’s role was to promote the family unit as well as single parents. To fulfill that role Escare worked with counsellors from the WA Marriage Guidance Council, and the Drug Alcohol Authority
Val Baillie took on the role as Family Support Officer, and her additional task was to find help for families in crisis.
Escare moved to occupy two rooms at Radio House. The second room was occupied by other support groups such as, Narcotics Anonymous and the Citizens Advice Bureau; who were also concerned with family situations

In this year also, Escare moved to ‘Community House’ on James Street, which had a rest room where out of town families could relax and have a nice cuppa.
Escare is committed to embracing diversity and eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of programs we offer. All people are welcome, irrespective of ethnicity, lifestyle choice, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
Escare aims to increase the capacity of individuals and families, to assist with daily living challenges, and to enrich community life.
