Centacare is dedicated to fostering an environment that promotes the care, protection and safety of children and adults at risk in our community and strives to support individuals to ensure they are empowered to have their voices heard.

The origin of this commitment lies in the respect and rights inherent in our human dignity - being persons created in the image of God. Moreover, the diocesan mission of Christ teaches us to love, respect and be just to all people, at all stages of their life. Centacare’s mission to provide social welfare services so that all in the Catholic Diocese of Armidale can reach their potential and enjoy the fullness of life is particularly relevant to children and adults at risk. Safeguarding is a shared responsibility that is embedded in our organisational culture.
