About Centrecare

With a history dating back to the 1940's, Centrecare is a not-for-profit, community services organisation with over 200 staff delivering more than 80 quality, professional counselling, support, mediation and training services throughout the Perth metropolitan, Goldfields, Esperance and South West regions of Western Australia. This includes weekly and fortnightly services to the communities of Coolgardie, Menzies, Leonora and Laverton and Norseman. Additionally, staff provide regular supports to the remote Aboriginal communities of Coonana, Tjuntjuntjarra and the Ngaanyatjarra Lands.

The name Centrecare was coined in the 1970s to describe those social services then being delivered by the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth.  Today, Centrecare is an Incorporated Association and is a modern expression of the Church in today’s world. Centrecare aims to be an example of unconditional care in action.  It always seeks the common good and works towards achieving a society that is founded on the principles of justice and fairness for all.

Service delivery is guided by a mission statement which "seeks to provide excellent, respectful and caring services, which facilitate healing and encourage all persons to develop to their fullest potential". When providing these services Centrecare demonstrates its belief in the intrinsic worth of persons by respecting differences, cherishing individuality and nourishing dignity.

Alongside of this, the current Centrecare Board has experience in areas such as finance, business, law,
community service and cultural diversity. These members embody the skills and diversity necessary to
ensure accountability, enhance ongoing and sustainable vision, policy formation and the long-term
planning capacity of Centrecare.

In 2006/2007 financial year Centrecare has delivered more than 84 programs and assisted 13,934 clients.
