Welcome to the Centacare
Community House / Drop-In Centre

In July 2002 Centacare opened the Community House/Drop In Centre in the western area of Whyalla to help respond to some community needs. Centacare's Low Income Support Program (LISP), which assists people experiencing the effects of poverty and/or isolation, operates from here.

• Centacare's Community House/Drop in Centre is flexible and adaptable to the needs of the community.
• The development, organisation and implementation of the Community House Project is supervised by Centacare, the Community House Co-ordinator and volunteers. An advisory group will be established to guide the development and administration of the service.
• Centacare ensures its workers have relevant qualifications and experience in human services and demonstrates a level of competence according to job specifications. Centacare conduct on-going training programs for volunteers, ensuring that volunteers are adequately trained for the positions they hold.
• There is an on site co-ordinator at the Community House.  Workers visit from Centacare's main office at 38 Cudmore Terrace and other agencies.
