CatholicCare Diocese of Wollongong

CatholicCare Diocese of Wollongong was built on strong foundations created by people who truly put the community at the heart of their work. For over 40 years, they have worked tirelessly to improve the social and emotional wellbeing of those they serve. CatholicCare is able to deliver quality support services to the people of Macarthur, Illawarra, Shoalhaven and the Southern Highlands because of these authentic foundations, local community connections and their committed staff and volunteers. Their mission is to bring joy to those they serve by enabling growth, healing, and hope, giving everyone – regardless of faith or background – someone to turn to. When unprecedented times strike, people draw back on experience, connections and integrity. Extraordinary events like bushfires and pandemics create immense pressure on our community, particularly those who are vulnerable. CatholicCare provides the right supports to overcome any challenge, big or small, helping people live life to the full through a range of programs and services for children & young people, families, the aged and people living with disability and their families. Their dedication shows that growth, healing and hope are all enhanced by practical experience and accompanying people during their toughest times. This presence and support during adversity elevates them and honours their journey in life.
