Welcome to Centacare

Centacare is the Catholic Church reaching out to individuals and families seeking assistance. We respond out of our commitment to the Gospel values of dignity, respect and justice for all; and offer a range of professional counselling, support and related services, in partnership with the community and governments.

Centacare Townsville is an organisation with a strong inclusive community focus.  This focus ensures that the organisation is one in which everyone is able to access our services regardless of their cultural, linguistic, religious or physical needs.

Centacare Townsville covers a large area of North Queensland, encompassing communities of diverse cultural backgrounds with a variety of support needs.

It is our challenge to engage and deliver effective services in these communities.

Centacare Locations

Centacare is represented in the Townsville Diocese with five main offices and seven additional service locations.
