An important update regarding CatholicCare’s emergency relief program
Due to recent changes in Federal Government funding, we are saddened to announce that CatholicCare will no longer be delivering Emergency Relief (ER) services across Northern Sydney and the Central Coast.
Although CatholicCare will cease delivering this service, the Federal Government continues to fund the emergency relief program across Australia. This means support is still available in your area through other providers. Below you’ll find a list of alternative services where you can access emergency food and financial assistance.
