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

Breast health awareness is a crucial aspect of women's overall well-being. Every year, millions of women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer, making it one of the most common and potentially life-threatening diseases. However, with early detection and proactive prevention measures, the impact of breast cancer can be significantly reduced. This blog article aims to raise awareness about breast health, emphasise the importance of early detection, and highlight essential breast cancer prevention strategies.

The journey into parenthood is a momentous and life-changing experience for expectant mothers and their families. However, alongside the joys of pregnancy and childbirth, there are significant challenges that can affect a woman's mental health during the perinatal period, which encompasses pregnancy and the first year postpartum. Perinatal mental health issues are more common than many people realise, and they can have a profound impact on the well-being of both the mother and the child. In this article, we will explore the challenges faced by women during this vulnerable period and the various treatment options available to support their mental health.

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. Typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55, menopause brings about significant hormonal changes, leading to various physical and emotional symptoms. While it is an inevitable phase in a woman's life, managing menopause symptoms can make the transition smoother and allow women to embrace this new chapter with confidence and vitality. In this article, we'll explore some effective strategies to help women feel their best during this transformative time.

In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an almost inevitable part of our lives. Whether it's due to work pressures, family responsibilities, financial concerns, or the constant bombardment of information through technology, stress can take a toll on both our mental and physical well-being. However, it's essential to remember that managing stress is not only possible but crucial for leading a balanced and healthy life. In this article, we'll explore ten simple and effective tips to help you manage stress and regain control of your life.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are a widespread global health concern that can affect anyone who engages in sexual activity. Despite their prevalence, there is often a lack of awareness and understanding surrounding STIs, leading to increased rates of transmission and potentially severe health consequences. In this article, we will delve into what STIs are, how they are transmitted, common symptoms, available treatments, and most importantly, how to protect yourself and your partner from contracting these infections.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, women often find themselves putting the needs of others before their own. However, self-care is not a luxury but a necessity for overall well-being. Taking the time to prioritise self-care can have a profound impact on physical health, mental well-being, and overall happiness. In this article, we'll explore ten practical self-care tips that every woman can incorporate into her daily routine to make herself a priority.

Women’s health and wellbeing are complex, encompassing not just physical, but also emotional, and at times, legal needs. Recognizing this intricate web of issues, Goldfields Women’s Health Care Centre has embarked on an exciting new partnership. Teaming up with the Women’s Legal Service WA (WLSWA) and Women’s Health and Family Services in Northbridge, the initiative aims to revolutionize the way services are delivered to women, particularly those affected by family and domestic violence.

Hello Goldfields, my name is Kate Yates I am the new Regional Carers Coordinator, I will be supporting our Goldfields carers navigate The Carer Gateway. Carer Gateway is an Australian Government program providing free services and support for carers.

Are you a carer? If you care for a family member or friend with a disability, a medical condition, mental illness, or who is frail due to age, then you are a Carer. Please fell free to make an appt and we can talk about your caring role.

I am passionate and motivated about client advocacy. I have worked in health for 23 years; my nursing career guided me to Aged care where my basic foundations and skill base began. Moving to Kalgoorlie & working at the hospital opened my eyes to culture & diversity. This experience and exposure to the grand Goldfields has enriched my understanding and scope of what it is like to live in the Goldfields. After 8 years at the hospital, I took a left turn into complimentary health, studying an Advanced Diploma in Kinesiology and became Yoga teacher.

When I’m not at working you will find me with my Horse Mr DJ, we are currently working together to learn dressage. You will see me practising yoga Yoga 202 of course. I love learning so I’ll always be completing whatever course my little heart desires.I’m a 2-dog owner, I love coffee - I enjoy sitting quietly and enjoying the smell, the taste, yum!! Ill do anything for a good coffee hint, hint, wink, wink & I love a great podcast recommendation or a great audiobook,

The things I love most in life are music. I believe life should be a musical, great food as long as I’m not cooking and good hearty laughs. All three of these in one day is my ideal day.

 In counselling, clients will meet face to face with a counsellor after they have first made contact with SASS by phone 08 90218266 or mob 0499167639 or interagency referral.

The counsellor will focus on the client’s feelings and emotional reactions and together with the client, explore strategies to help them to recover from the trauma and to feel in control of their lives. Clients will not be forced to talk about anything they do not want to talk about.

In counselling, clients can expect to:

  • Be treated with dignity, respect and understanding 
  • Be believed 
  • Have an opportunity to express feelings and thoughts without being judged 
  • Receive accurate information 
  • Make decisions in their own time 
  • Communicate in their own language, with the help of an interpreter if required 


A counselling session is usually 50 minutes to 1 hour in length.  As a general guide, SASS can offer up to 10 counselling sessions per client, and there are no fees.

"I am absolutely stoked to be working at GWHCC as a counsellor as I am completing my psychology registration program. I have always enjoyed working in the not-for-profit space and providing help and support to those that need it. My passion is working from person-centred therapy modalities and holistic approaches. I have previously worked in drug and alcohol treatment for adults and young people. My treatment interests include working with trauma, personality disorders and attachment, as well as supporting and growing our healthy adult.

I was born in Kalgoorlie and lived here until I was about 5 before moving to be closer to family, eventually coming back to my hometown and absolutely loving it. I love spending time outside and in nature, especially with my dog. I have just returned from a 6-month holiday travelling around Australia and experiencing all the beauty our home has to offer. I love travelling and experiencing new things, learning everything I can and sharing with those around me. I aspire to make a positive impact on those around me and think we can all continue to learn from each other throughout our lives. I can’t wait to see where this job takes me and to be more involved in our community."
