West Works is a self funding community enterprise that exists to create opportunities for people in the community to gain work skills, training and demonstrated work experience — ultimately, helping them to gain paid employment.

West Works over a dozen different positions, and these are filled by Volunteers, Work for the Dole clients, Work Cover workers in the process of rehabilitation, and paid workers.

West Works is an appropriate stepping stone for people wishing to return to work in a caring and supportive environment that provides learning and practical experience to the people involved.

West Works focuses is on care for the environment and recycling while providing cost effective services for the community.
