Street Chaplains Caring for you when it matters! Committed to the safety of the public in public places The simple agenda is to love and care.

Street Chaplains are dynamic team-oriented volunteers from a wide range of Christian churches, who are living out the call to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’
(Matt 22:39) and be a ‘good Samaritan’. Street Chaplains work in the WA night club scene and have a proven record in providing crisis pastoral care in a mission setting. The Chaplains offer compassion, practical help and pastoral care to all who need and want it. Street Chaplains work in teams of at least two into the early hours of the morning (4am!) over Friday and Saturday nights. The Vision of the Street Chaplaincy Program is to provide a safe environment for patrons to enjoy a night out and not be harmed. The aim is to be ’Good Samaritans’ to those in need and not to preach at people, but simply to care, protect, and ensure patrons get home safely. Street Chaplains respect the range of cultural traditions, affiliations and religious views in the community and are approachable by people of all beliefs.

Street Chaplain Licia and Daniel say walking along James Street in the park/piazza opposite Paramount we found a young male lying face down, semi-conscious. We tried unsuccessfully to rouse him. While helping him two police constables noted what was going on and came to help. Initially when I asked the man what he had taken, he said, “lots of things.” Once the police arrived, he was not happy to divulge what he had taken. We all noted no smell of alcohol on him. We did try and get him to sit, stand, sit or walk, and this was unsuccessful. At one stage he was able to take a sip of water, but he started dry heaving and then passed out again. I checked his pulse which was erratic, spiking and then dropping. The oxygen sats started to drop significantly to 88 at one stage, and we rang for an ambulance. Once the ambulance arrived, the paramedics immediately loaded him onto the stretcher, took his vitals, which proved to still be dangerously erratic. When they left with him they thanked us for being there to help💜💜💜

Street Chaplain Scott says a man was sitting just outside the U&I entrance, obviously drunk. He was able to tell us his name and that he had lost his phone and keys. We gave him a vomit bag and discussed what we would do to help him, He gave us his phone number and tried calling it but it went to voicemail. Chaplains Storm and Sarah went to the club where he had been, but it had closed. The man was able to give us his home phone no. but there was no answer. The man was able to give us details of his Mum and sister and his Mum said she was going to come and pick up her son. We sat with him while we waited. We saw the car and walked the man towards the car. The Mum was quite panicked until she realised her son was ok and being looked after. They thanked us profusely💜💜💜

Street Chaplain David says we met a young lady, with a group of friends, at the Fremantle railway station, at approx. 12:30 am. She had a fair bit of blood dried on her foot. Neither her foot nor the blood on her foot seemed to bother her but we offered to clean it up and dress any cut that we might find. The blood was well and truly dried on and took quite a bit of cleaning with sanitary wipes. In conversation we found out that the minor injury occurred several hours prior, after cleaning the area we found that there was a cut/scratch running under her big toe and over the pad behind her big toe. The section under her toe was a shallow cut which appeared to be clean (no dirt or ‘stuff’ in it). We put 2 band aids across the cut (about 2 cm long) and secured the band aids with micropore tape. The young lady was very grateful and boarded a train with her friends💜💜💜

Street Chaplain Judith says Street Chaplains Mark, Vincent and I were walking past the Mustang Bar when we noticed a male bleeding from the right of his forehead. I asked one of the people around him if he was alright and she said he will be, that she was a nurse and asked could we give her some steri-strips. She appeared slightly intoxicated and as we proceeded to get the steri-strips from our bag, another lady came up to me and asked if we could administer the first aid instead. She informed me that this other lady was not known to them and she did not want someone intoxicated to look after her friend. So we brought the male to the piazza where I proceeded to clean the wound, apply the steri-strips and bandaid and his friend then booked transport to take them both home.

Street Chaplain Otto says we noticed Security removing a gentleman from their bar, clearly intoxicated. Security requested assistance as they were concerned about gentleman's welfare and were sure he took ketamine. We sat gentleman down on pavement against building and conducted well-being and safety check. Oximeter confirmed high heart rate, (+135), oxygen (95%). Gentleman was warm to the touch, breathed normally, but speech and muscle control was affected. Continued to monitor health, his vital signs remained stable, and his heart rate started coming down, so we decided to stay with him to keep him safe. Regularly checked vitals every 5min and after 30min gentleman could speak reasonably well, heart rate came down to ~110 and oxygen +95%. He was still not fully coordinated and hence locked himself out of his iPhone trying to enter his pin incorrectly too many times. We finally called a taxi as his phone locked him out for over an hour. Confirmed his address with taxi driver and we prayed as he safely headed for home💜💜💜

Street Chaplain Richard says Police called to request Street Chaplain assistance with an intoxicated girl outside the Butterfly / Galaxy Lounge. When we arrived, she was crouched down in the driveway, crying and talking to her mum on the phone. The police advised her mom was on the way, but they didn’t think she should be alone and asked us to care for her. We put a blanket around her while her friend tried to comfort her but each time she would start panicking as she explained how she felt. Jane asked her to breathe slowly and deeply and we tried to check her vitals with the oximeter, but got no reading (we tested the unit on ourselves and it worked fine). However, we noticed that her fingers were blue and she told us when she looked up it seemed the world was spinning. She also said that she had underlying medical conditions. We suggested to the girl’s friend that getting her to RPH was probably best if there was suspicion of a spiked drink. The girl’s friend called the girl’s parents, and they all agreed she should go to RPH and the parents would meet them there. While the friend got her car closer, we helped get the girl into her friend’s car and settled with vomit management and we could hear her friend then coordinating with the girl’s parents.💜💜💜

Street Chaplains Jeanette and Scott said we were called by security to help with a young lady who was intoxicated outside a night club on James Street. She was sitting on the ground surrounded by her own vomit. We covered her in a sarong to preserve her modesty, and a blanket to keep her warm. Her friend said they had called someone to come and collect her. We provided several vomit bags and cleaned her up with paper towels and gave her water, which she initially declined. While we waited, I physically supported her from falling and supported her head to keep her airway clear. We waited nearly an hour with her before her Mum came to collect her. We helped her stand and into her Mums car💜💜💜

Street Chaplain Sharon, Graham and Dee were alerted to a woman in distress, lying on the ground on Parker Street, while another woman was in a similarly vulnerable state in the gazebo at Russell Square. With heavy rain falling and the temperature dropping, we went to the woman on Parker Street first, where Police were already in attendance and an ambulance had been called. As we waited, Dee checked her vital signs and carefully covered her to protect her from the cold and relentless rain.
Her obs were concerning, so we remained with her, closely monitoring her condition until the ambulance arrived. When paramedics reached the scene, we assisted in safely lifting her onto the gurney before handing her care over to the medical team. We then headed straight to Russell Square to check on the second woman💜💜💜

Street Chaplain Daniel says at about 3am, we received a call from the Northbridge Police Station, he informed me that there was a young lady vomiting out front of the Police Station into the rubbish bin and could we help. At the Police Station I was informed that the young lady's mum had been contacted by the Police, but she lived approx. 45mins away and could we Street Chaplains stay and care for the young lady until her mum arrived. Street Chaplains Michelle and Nelofar assessed her, she was still vomiting, they helped by giving her water, paper towels and a hair tie.
