Welcome!
Our mission work seeks to care for seafarers in every way, including physical needs and emotional support. But at the heart of the care offered is the gospel – the saving good news of Jesus Christ.
John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
We seek to support the welfare and treatment of all seafarers calling to Dampier port through chaplaincy services, as well as provide a place where seafarers can find rest and recreation in a supportive and relaxed environment.
If you would like to contact the Chaplain, please email Steve; chaplain[at]dampierseafarers.org
Transport & Shore leave
We provide a free bus service for seafarers at 5 terminals and 12 berths to and from our Centre.
Shore leave is permitted in Australia and seafarers are entitled to access Seafarers Centres. Companies are responsible for crew health, safety, and wellbeing. Shore leave and access to shore-based welfare facilities is key to seafarer physical and mental health recovery and reduces risks of fatigue. We can to assist crew in taking shore leave and bring them to our Centre to provide a place where seafarers can find rest and recreation in a supportive and relaxed environment.
