Community

Centacare provides wellbeing support to the rural and regional communities in our region.

Centacare also operates the Central West Family Law Pathways Network to enhance skills, knowledge, and collaboration among professionals assisting families going through separation.

Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS)

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme, funded by the Australian Government, provides trained and friendly volunteer visitors to older people in our community at risk of social isolation in local Aged Care Facilities across our region. Centacare is always looking for volunteers to take up this worthwhile and rewarding role. We provide the connection, training and ongoing support.

Do you have a few spare hours a month and would like to provide companionship to someone in aged care – you can chat about the weather, read books, play cards or just share stories together. Does this sound like you?

Community Outreach Wellbeing Support (COWS)

We are committed to supporting our rural communities through adversity, such as drought, floods, bushfires and mice with services, wellbeing events and referral pathways. One example is our yearly commitment to bring our counselling team to the local Agricultural Shows in the Warrumbungle, Gilgandra and Coonamble Shires.

Early Childhood and Community Programs

We provide children, young people, parents, carers and grandparents a range of activities in schools, early childhood services and the community.
