This organisation was set up over twenty-five years ago and reaches out in a big way to people in our Diocese. Regardless of race, beliefs, colour or circumstances – all are helped in many ways.

Such people assisted are:

·  Individuals and families who need counselling

·  Parents in their important role of relating to and caring for their children

·  Children who have separated parents and difficulties in relationships

·  Separated parents who still wish to do the best for their children

·  People who need food and some basic financial help.

·  Unemployed people – helping them train for work

·  Children who have to be witnesses in court

·  People with personal problems or with mild disabilities who find it hard to get work

·  Victims of violence

Centacare is in Geraldton but has centres in Carnarvon, Mount Magnet and Exmouth. However, it reaches out beyond these places to the Midwest and other rural areas according to needs that can be met by this organisation.
