Since 1890, we have been caring for Seafarers coming to Bunbury, Western Australia.

Bunbury Seafarers Centre

The Seafarers Centre is located right in the CBD of the City of Bunbury located at 17 Victoria Street, Bunbury.

During normal operations we are open:

Monday to Friday 1pm - 9pm

Saturday 5pm-9pm

However due to COVID-19 our centre is closed.

Crew Welfare

Over 90% of world trade is carried by sea, providing work to 1.5 million seafarers, and over 95% of Australian goods arrive by sea. Shipping is a truly international industry, however, it is also one of the world’s most dangerous occupations, with piracy, shipwreck and abandonment just some of the threats seafarers face.

Mental health issues affect many seafarers, but our volunteers and chaplains are there to provide emotional and spiritual support, whether that’s on board or at our Seafarers Centres. Day and night, the Mission is on call for seafarers. who often have no one else to turn to.

Ship Chaplaincy

The Bunbury Mission to Seafarers ship visiting team go on board to offer a warm welcome and whatever help is needed. This can range from enabling a telephone call or email home, having a chat, to offering comfort and assisting in cases of injustice and distress.

Christian Worship Services can be conducted onboard upon request.

Volunteers and our Mission to Seafarers Chaplains carry out these visits. You can volunteer to become a Ship’s Visitor by contacting us.
