The CatholicCare Story

As the social services agency of the Catholic Diocese of Toowoomba, CatholicCare provides a range of services to promote individual, family and community wellbeing.

From humble beginnings in 1983 of lunchtime counselling sessions conducted by volunteer workers, CatholicCare now employs approximately 50 staff and over 70 volunteers that service an area of nearly 500,000km2 across Southwest Queensland.

We truly believe in supporting our communities through a range of services including family and relationship counselling, mediation for relationship breakdown, separation and co-parenting, migrant and refugee support, the delivery of First Nation Peoples programs and wrap around youth support.

The Business Resilience Centre is a social Enterprise of CatholicCare that aims to support local businesses and their people, so that businesses can thrive in today's fast paced and often unpredictable business environment.
