Our Mission
We support and enrich the lives of individuals and families. We live out the Gospel by walking alongside people to find and build solutions to their needs. We deliver evidence-based services, and do so with commitment, regardless of the difficulties faced. To this mission we bring a long history of service and faith, the resources of dedicated staff, volunteers and partners, a willingness to go beyond essential care, and persistence in supporting justice and wellbeing for all.
Our Vision
We strive for a world where people are safe, well and connected with each other in inclusive communities.
I acknowledge that the ordinary, everyday activities of our staff are, in fact, extraordinary and sacred. I give thanks for the opportunity to carry out Christ's mission to serve the most vulnerable people in our Diocese.
Archbishop Anthony Randazzo

OUR LATEST ANNUAL REPORT IS NOW AVAILABLE
We’re proud to share our annual report for 2025/26, a look back at another year of impact, connection and community.
Each year we use the annual report to reflect on the difference we’ve made, stories of resilience and hope, and a celebration of all the staff, volunteers, clients and community members who bring our mission to life every single day, guided by the values of compassion and service that lie at the heart of who we are.
It’s a chance to pause, give thanks, and see the bigger picture, the milestones reached, the challenges met together, and the countless small moments added up, tell the story of who we are as an organisation.
