Centacare Disability Services

Centacare has been a significant part of the social services landscape in South East Queensland for more than 60 years. During this time, we have continued to grow and evolve, along with the needs of the community to which we belong.
Centacare reaches out to those in our local communities in South East Queensland through a range of practical services for all people including the most disadvantaged and marginalised in society.
When you support Centacare, you provide care for persons suffering with mental and physical disabilities, those who are homeless, families experiencing violence in the home, seafarers, and the lonely in prisons and hospitals.
We have now reached another important milestone, with a new look for our communication and new ways to share the Centacare story.
With our history steeped in the Catholic tradition, we believe in offering loving care to all members of our community. For our people this means offering a listening ear, refraining from judgement and treating and caring for others as we would like to be treated and cared for ourselves. It is also why for many years our people have shown a shared commitment to doing whatever they can to ensure that everyone in their communities is not just cared for, but cared about, in ways that help them live their fullest lives.
We’ve captured this shared belief and commitment in our new Centacare promise. We’re proud to say that for our people, It’s more than care, it’s a calling.
We are pleased to share this new way of telling the Centacare story with you and are excited to see the incredible work our teams continue to do in aged care, community and pastoral care, disability care, Early EdCare and family and relationship care.

We are now being called on nearly every day for support. We have started a small community garden with herbs, veggies and fruit trees so our guests can avail themselves of some extra healthy items. Our breakfast relies on an annual grant but our pantry just on donations where we can as there are no grants for food pantry.
