CatholicCare, previously known as Centacare, has grown from the grass roots of volunteering to the leading not-for-profit community organisation we are today. We started in 1957 with a very humble and noble premise, to help people. This has not changed or wavered in 60 years.
From the extensive coastline, to the Snowy Mountains, to the rolling hills and flat plains out west, our geographical diversity reflects our client base and the wide range of support services available to anyone in need. Whether it is counselling, family support, homelessness, NDIS services, mental health, aged care, youth outreach, drug and alcohol or housing support you need, we are here to help you.
We‘re the hands and the eyes, we’re the hearts and minds; we are there, there for any human.
For 60 years, CatholicCare has been a leading provider of support services in the following areas:
With over 250 staff across Canberra and Southern New South Wales regions, CatholicCare is here to serve, along every curve.
CatholicCare is a large not-for-profit organisation operating in the Canberra and surrounding Southern NSW region. We are proud of our history stemming from a small volunteer base in the 1950’s to who we are today.
