If you deliver information or services of any kind to regional Western Australia, in many places the local Community Resource Centre would be the natural touchpoint for you to access your target audience.
People come to CRCs for all sorts of reasons – to connect with the wider world beyond their neighbourhood and our borders, to access training and employment, to enjoy cultural and community events, and to conduct business with government and private sector organisations. It’s an ideal environment in which to connect with your customers.
We find that the more information and services the local CRC offers, the higher the traffic levels in the centre, and the more clients like you it attracts.
In most cases, CRCs can deliver your service or information on your business at low or no cost, as long as you provide the information needed and any infrastructure required.
So working with the CRC community is an inexpensive way of connecting with more of your customers, in places where it would be expensive to set up as a stand-alone.

Yet there’s one thing that brings the people in over 100 Western Australian communities together:
our Community Resource Centres.
These friendly, locally owned centres not only provide a wide array of information and community-based services, they help bring the people of regional Western Australia together through:
o Public internet connections o Video conferencing services
o The Westlink interactive satellite network
Who are we?
All Community Resources Centres across Western Australia form part of the Western Australian
Community Resource Network, which is supported by the Department of Regional Development and Lands’
Community Development Division.
Funding via the State Government’s Royalties for Regions program allows our CRCs to provide greater access to government services, as well as providing for training and capacity building activities.
The local Centres are all incorporated, not-for-profit organisations that are independently owned and
operated by local people who understand their area, and know the people in their community.
Western Australia is a vast, diverse and largely isolated state covering over 2.5 million square kilometres. Our communities are spread far and wide across a huge variety of landscapes and climate zones.
In addition, CRCs provide a central, easily accessible point for local people, businesses and visitors to access a comprehensive collection of essential information on government services.
Many of our CRCs also include agencies for services such as Medicare, Centrelink, licensing and training organisations, as well as banks, post offices and visitor centres.
It’s easy to see why, in many towns across our state, the
Community Resource Centre is the hub of the community – and together all of our CRCs make up one big, connected Community.
We’d like to invite you to join that Community.
