Where we started
GFS Perth has been enabling friendships for almost 140 years here in Western Australia after a woman who migrated here began telling others of an organisation she had belonged to in the UK. GFS Perth started as an organisation for young women, by women.
Throughout its many years, GFS Perth has assisted young women and girls with housing and accommodation, and with networking and mentoring, facilitated secure and ‘gainful’ training and employment (refer to Our History for more information).
Where we are now
Worldwide, GFS spans over 29 countries, from Kenya to Papua New Guinea, Japan to Canada and Ireland, and here in Australia. Today, many of the GFS worldwide chapters, including GFS Perth, have opened their doors to all genders.
While GFS Perth is non-denominational, it is faith-based. Whatever your beliefs, we believe you are a vital and valuable member of our community.

Knowing how important friendship is, GFS Perth seeks to catalyst a #FriendshipRevolution, and we hope you will join us in this journey!
