The GWHCC would like to introduce you to our newest team member!

Hello Goldfields, my name is Kate Yates I am the new Regional Carers Coordinator, I will be supporting our Goldfields carers navigate The Carer Gateway. Carer Gateway is an Australian Government program providing free services and support for carers.

Are you a carer? If you care for a family member or friend with a disability, a medical condition, mental illness, or who is frail due to age, then you are a Carer. Please fell free to make an appt and we can talk about your caring role.

I am passionate and motivated about client advocacy. I have worked in health for 23 years; my nursing career guided me to Aged care where my basic foundations and skill base began. Moving to Kalgoorlie & working at the hospital opened my eyes to culture & diversity. This experience and exposure to the grand Goldfields has enriched my understanding and scope of what it is like to live in the Goldfields. After 8 years at the hospital, I took a left turn into complimentary health, studying an Advanced Diploma in Kinesiology and became Yoga teacher.

When Iā€™m not at working you will find me with my Horse Mr DJ, we are currently working together to learn dressage. You will see me practising yoga Yoga 202 of course. I love learning so Iā€™ll always be completing whatever course my little heart desires.Iā€™m a 2-dog owner, I love coffee - I enjoy sitting quietly and enjoying the smell, the taste, yum!! Ill do anything for a good coffee hint, hint, wink, wink & I love a great podcast recommendation or a great audiobook,

The things I love most in life are music. I believe life should be a musical, great food as long as Iā€™m not cooking and good hearty laughs. All three of these in one day is my ideal day.

Sexual Assault Support Service

The Goldfield Womens Health Care Centre (GWHCC) now provides Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS) and counselling to people who have been sexually assaulted or sexually abused at some time in the past (there are no restrictions based on how long ago the assault or abuse took place).

SASS counsellors are experienced in providing counselling to deal with the aftermath of sexual assault and sexual abuse.

 In counselling, clients will meet face to face with a counsellor after they have first made contact with SASS by phone 08 90218266 or mob 0499167639 or interagency referral.

The counsellor will focus on the clientā€™s feelings and emotional reactions and together with the client, explore strategies to help them to recover from the trauma and to feel in control of their lives. Clients will not be forced to talk about anything they do not want to talk about.

In counselling, clients can expect to:

  • Be treated with dignity, respect and understanding 
  • Be believed 
  • Have an opportunity to express feelings and thoughts without being judged 
  • Receive accurate information 
  • Make decisions in their own time 
  • Communicate in their own language, with the help of an interpreter if required 


A counselling session is usually 50 minutes to 1 hour in length.  As a general guide, SASS can offer up to 10 counselling sessions per client, and there are no fees.

GWHCC is a safe space

Supporting healthy lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans/transgender, intersex, queer and other sexuality, gender, and bodily diverse people and communities throughout the Goldfields and the world, free from stigma and discrimination.

The GWHCC were thrilled to be involved in Seniors week actives at the Eastern Goldfields Community Centre.  This week iis celebrated to encourages people of all ages to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of seniors in our  wonderful community.

Please welcome our newest member of the team, Zoe!

"I am absolutely stoked to be working at GWHCC as a counsellor as I am completing my psychology registration program. I have always enjoyed working in the not-for-profit space and providing help and support to those that need it. My passion is working from person-centred therapy modalities and holistic approaches. I have previously worked in drug and alcohol treatment for adults and young people. My treatment interests include working with trauma, personality disorders and attachment, as well as supporting and growing our healthy adult.

I was born in Kalgoorlie and lived here until I was about 5 before moving to be closer to family, eventually coming back to my hometown and absolutely loving it. I love spending time outside and in nature, especially with my dog. I have just returned from a 6-month holiday travelling around Australia and experiencing all the beauty our home has to offer. I love travelling and experiencing new things, learning everything I can and sharing with those around me. I aspire to make a positive impact on those around me and think we can all continue to learn from each other throughout our lives. I canā€™t wait to see where this job takes me and to be more involved in our community."

Breast cancer is the most common life threatening cancer for women and 1 in 7 women in Australia will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
Having a screening mammogram (breast x-ray) every two years significantly increases the chance of a woman surviving breast cancer and reduces the amount of treatment required.
More than 75% of breast cancers occur in women over the age of 50.
Research shows that screening is most effective for this age group.

Introducing Gloria

The GWHCC is excited to introduce our newest team member Gloria Lockyer!


Gloria has over 30 yearsā€™ worth of experience working in rural communities and is going to be providing general counselling and sexual assault counselling at the centre.


"I couldnā€™t think of working anywhere else in Kal than with Women. Working with women and empowering them to reach their full potential is a passion of mine. If our women are safe and well, then our children grow and flourish in our community. I have worked in community development in all areas for over 30 years in both private and public sectors. I am a narrative therapist at heart and use other evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, Schema and EMDR in Counselling Practices, I am also in my final semester of Psychology Science.


Born in Port Hedland, I have lived the rural life for the most part, but today call Kalgoorlie home. I am a mother, grandmother and wife that loves baking bread, painting portraits and growing herbs. I love fishing, bush walks, exploring the reef and sitting in the sun in nature with a cup of tea.


I am a researcher currently completing a PhD in Health Science, looking at integrated models of care in the field of sexual assault, I am seeking more knowledge for the benefit of sharing it for better outcomes in our community. I am basically a tree hugger, loving earth care and sustainable practices in life. I believe Reuse, Recycle and Reduce is a great motto to live by. Taking an integrative approach to basically everything which values our people and planet, I believe even though is it the people that are important, we all need a healthy planet to nourish us in our lives. I believe you must ā€œBe the change you want to seeā€.

The GWHCC in conjunction with the Shire of Coolgardie are excited to announce holding a free Women's Health Week event on 7th September at the Kambalda Recreation Centre.

Welcome Lily!

Please welcome our future Lawyer, Lily to the GWHCC team! Lily is working part time as a Client Services Officer. 

ā€œIā€™m absolutely over the moon to be helping the Goldfields community as a Client Services Officer at GWHCC. I am currently studying externally my BA of Laws and I am a graduate of a Diploma of Performing Arts and Classical Cecchetti training.

Born in Kal, I grew up in tightknit mining towns such as Coolgardie, Port Hedland and Kalgoorlie, where I currently live with my family while I finish home renos on mine and my partnerā€™s new house. In my spare time I love to read novels, experiment with tea, and go camping and fishing in Espo.

I pride myself on being an intuitive and calming presence, here to offer friendly advice to whoever would like it. I strongly believe in always seeing the best in people, and love celebrating when people accomplish the goals they set for themselves. I love listening to peopleā€™s life stories, in which life lessons I may learn myself are always embedded. My mantra is ā€˜practice makes progress, not perfectionā€™.ā€
