About Us
Centacare’s Catholic Psychiatric Pastoral Care (CPPC) is a support organisation that provides help for people suffering with a psychiatric illness. Our centre is a welcoming, homely and relaxing place for people suffering from a mental illness. We provide a range of activities or people can simply rest quietly or chat casually with others. Our centre in Fortitude Valley is managed by Pastoral Carers who make themselves available for one to one contact. The centre is open Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 3.30pm.
We also have pastoral care services established at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Princess Alexandra Hospital, The Prince Charles Hospital, The Park, Redland Hospital, Moreton Bay Nursing Unit, Ipswich Hospital, Nambour Hospital, Caboolture Hospital, New Farm Clinic and Toowong Private Hospital, and Redcliffe Community Care Unit and Belmont Private Hospital are visited on request.
We also provide our services to nine hostels within the Brisbane area: Clayfield House, Willow House, Pinjarra Lodge, Gracemere Ladies Home, Green Meadow Court, Herston Lodge, Montray Villa Hostel, Bayside Lodge and Victoria Gardens.
We also have an extensive training program focused in the area of psychiatry and spirituality which enables selected volunteers to become trained pastoral carers.

For more than 50 years, we’ve been providing support services to the people of South East Queensland. Whilst we are a Catholic agency, we provide these services to the entire community, regardless of religion, circumstance, ethnicity, economic situation, age, gender or ability. You will find Centacare services in every corner of South East Queensland. With a workforce of more than 3000, including our invaluable volunteers, and operating from more than 200 locations, we provide help and create hope for more than 150 000 people each year. With funding from both the Federal and Queensland governments, we are able to provide quality services to those in need of a range of services including childcare, support services for the aged and people with a disability as well as relationship education, counselling and support. We are grateful to our army of volunteers and donors who enable our non-government funded work in prisons, hospitals, psychiatric pastoral care and Indigenous communities. At Centacare, we want you to feel welcome, supported and treated with respect each and every time you access one of our services. We strive to deliver professional and accountable services whilst empowering our clients to find solutions and achieve their goals.
