Catholic Care

CatholicCare is the social service agency of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne and the Diocese of Sale. 

Since 1935, we have offered hope and support to the vulnerable and marginalised, responding to the changing needs of the community with a commitment to addressing social disadvantage. 

We provide family and relationship services, relationship courses, pastoral services, refugee and asylum seeker support, and school and education support. All services are offered to the whole community, regardless of religious belief or background.

With over 350 staff and volunteers in 13 CatholicCare offices, our geographical reach covers all of Greater Melbourne and Geelong, extends west to Melton, north to Castlemaine and includes all of Gippsland. Some of our programs operate state-wide.

Our services are funded through a mix of government and philanthropic grants, income from fees and investments, and contributions from donors and supporters.

CatholicCare has been independently assessed and accredited by Quality Innovation Performance for meeting relevant service standards. For further information about this accreditation, please visit www.qip.com.au
