Our work

Through our work we aim to raise knowledge, awareness, understanding and commitment to Western Australia’s natural and cultural heritage.

We do this with the conservation and interpretation of the heritage places and collections we manage on behalf of the community and government of Western Australia, through our education and learning programs, and through community consultation and engagement.

Conservation

We undertake research and investigation in support of heritage and conservation, as well as monitoring, assessing and acting upon issues which impact directly and indirectly on the conservation of heritage.

Our plan

Strategic Plan

Every five years the National Trust adopts a Strategic Plan to guide the activity of the organisation. Through this strategic plan the National Trust of Western Australia aspires to awaken the community to the value of heritage. The plan sets out to achieve this by connecting Western Australians with the story of their heritage. The stories found in the rich and diverse natural and cultural heritage are the embodiment of our memories – the vast collection of things – both tangible and intangible – which we chose to keep and which we choose to keep for the future.
