WA Police & Community Youth Centres (PCYC)

The Western Australian Police and Community Youth Centres (WA PCYC) exists so that disadvantaged children and young people at risk across Western Australia have a safe place to go – somewhere they can feel at home, make friends and do things that young people should do.

Since we began in 1941, children and young people have joined PCYC for many reasons.

Some children come to enjoy after school care activities, some seek comfort from challenging home or school environments, and some are referred to PCYC by the Western Australia Police Force, the Department of Education or the Juvenile Justice System to take part in diversionary programs, alternative learning courses or just as a safe place to hang out.

Across WA, we’re working hard to ensure there is a PCYC Centre or outreach activity where children need our services.

We’re proud to have Centres across the state, from Albany to Broome and many in-between, partnering with the Police to serve the community and create opportunities for children and young people. We also support 35 Blue Light™ Units for children to access fun activities in a safe environment in remote and regional areas where there is no PCYC Centre.
