21.01.2022 We wish to advise that in response to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic the SSJG Heritage Centre is now closed to the public until further notice. This includes the closure of the Relationships Exhibition, the Garden of Healing, the Archive centre and the Bernardine Greene room. The campus will maintain a security presence. We are deeply saddened by the need to take this action, and have every empathy for all who are impacted, however our priority must be to the health and safety of our visitors, volunteers, staff and our entire community. Please see updates on our Facebook page and website, and we look forward to welcoming you back post Covid-19.

09.01.2022 Horo Gorokichi began building the Convent for the Sisters of St John of God in 1923. It was officially blessed and opened on 15 August 1926. Before this the quality of Gorokichis work had been tested when, in January 1926, a severe storm tore through Broome damaging several buildings. The Convent stood strong and is still standing strong today. You can wander around the Heritage listed Old Convent building and explore the social history held inside its shinkabe shell in the Relationships Exhibition!
