Welcome to the Goldfields Navigation Service Eric Plet

Eric describes his background like a box of chocolate.
His passion for community work started as a Youth Worker in his early twenties and graduated from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.  His previous work experience includes working across all three spheres of government and across four states.  He initially came to the Goldfields in 2007 to work for the City of Kalgoorlie Boulder as the Manager responsible for Community Services which included services offered by EGCC. He later on worked for the WA Disability Services Commission, the WA Department of Communities and the WA Department of Education.  Some of his NGO work exposure includes health care settings such as the Port Adelaide Community Health Service,  the Illoura Early Childhood Intervention Service and the now Banyule Community Health service. Eric is looking forward to continuing his passion in working and advocating for the most vulnerable people in our community.

The Goldfields Navigation Service is thrilled to have Eric on the team. He can be contacted on 90 218266 or via email sc1@gwhcc.org.au.


Carer Friendly Organisation

In September the GWHCC completed Level 1 Accreditation for Carers WA Activate - This is for organisations who are beginning to develop carer friendly workplace policies and practices. We are the first regional organisation to achieve this and we were incredibly proud to achieve this milestone.  The Carers + Employers program defines best practice standards for supporting staff with caring responsibilities. This may be any employee within your organisation who provides informal support or care to a family member or friend.
CEO of Carers WA Richard Newman came to Kalgoorlie to present the award to President, Kylie McLerie, Support & Carer Coordinator Christine Kupe and CEO Gloria Moyle.

Recognition of Health Justice partnership


Our CEO Gloria Moyle attended the 2024 IPAA WA Achievement Awards last week as our Health - Justice partnership that is funded by Department of Health was nominated in the "best practice in Health & Well Being. "This partnership is innovative in its approach—embedding specialist legal services within women’s health centre’s where women already feel safe and supported. This model breaks down silos between health and legal services, providing an integrated, trauma-informed solution that addresses not just one, but multiple needs at once. This is the kind of early intervention that can change lives, and it’s both cost-effective and efficient in its ability to prevent long-term harm" Although we didn't take out the award we are thrilled to be supporting about Goldfield’s women, children, and families who are at a crossroads, looking for a way forward. I think of the women we serve, the ones whose voices are often unheard, and I am inspired by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference." Thank you to everyone who has supported this important work, and to those who will continue to champion women’s health, safety, and access to justice. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of women and families, not just today, but for generations to come."

"For me, this initiative is not just about policy or systems—it’s about Goldfield’s women, children, and families who are at a crossroads, looking for a way forward. I think of the women we serve, the ones whose voices are often unheard, and I am inspired by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference."

"None of this would be possible without the collective effort of all those involved.

 Thank you to everyone who has supported this important work, and to those who will continue to champion women’s health, safety, and access to justice.

 Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of women and families, not just today, but for generations to come."  Gloria Moyle CEO
