A message from our CEO
Carinity’s 75th anniversary celebrations have been in full flight across Queensland. Being able to join in these celebrations early in my season at Carinity has been a real privilege and a touching reminder of why we do what we do.
Community Centre a beacon of hope and connection
A strong sense of community can make all the difference to the wellbeing of people in regional areas. In Boonah, residents find connection at Carinity Fassifern Community Centre, a social hub that celebrating 40 years of serving the local community.
Unlocking Monique's true potential
It’s hard to believe that Monique, a confident graduate of Carinity Education Gladstone, once struggled in school. But Monique’s educational journey was far from smooth. Monique recently returned to the school to reconnect with the teachers and youth workers she remembered fondly.
Carinity celebrating 75 years
Over the past two months, Carinity staff, service users and supporters from all over Queensland have had the opportunity to reflect on the real difference Carinity has made to the lives of those we are called to care for at a series of events celebrating the organisation’s 75th anniversary.
Keeping it in the family
For the O’Chins, family is everything. While the family did their best to care for Aunty Nellie as her health declined, when the time came to consider a shift to residential aged care, Brookfield Green was the first place they looked.
Homeless service transforming the lives of young people
When Rhiannon was just 16 years old, she found herself homeless after leaving a tumultuous family life behind. After couch surfing and occasionally sleeping on the streets, Rhiannon’s school counsellor referred her to Orana, Carinity’s short-term accommodation for young people in crisis.
A focus on the Chaplaincy and Mission team
In recent months Carinity has renewed its commitment to ensuring everyone we have a relationship with has access to spiritual care by creating a number of new roles within our Chaplaincy and Mission team.
