We support you to be healthy, safe and connected

CatholicCare offers a wide range of integrated, holistic services designed to support individuals, families, children, and young people facing challenges. We are part of the communities we serve, providing accessible support, guidance and referrals when needed.

Our services are diverse and open to everyone. Our focus is on empowering you, or someone you care about, to navigate difficulties and enhance overall wellbeing. We are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment for all.

You can reach out to learn more about our support groups and casework services. You, or someone you know might be feeling vulnerable or stressed and unsure what help is available. We can talk you through all the options we offer, and we are also very well connected to other organisations who we can refer you to if needed. We can assist with a range of concerns, including financial stress, parenting challenges, substance use, mental health, domestic and family violence, housing, and homelessness. Support is available both in-home and at our centres located in Artarmon, Brookvale, Waitara, and Tuggerah on the Central Coast.
