Ballarat Family Relationship Centre, co-located with CatholicCare Victoria, is dedicated to strengthening family relationships and providing support to families facing challenges such as separation. As part of CatholicCare Victoria, the Centre offers a wide range of services including child, family, and youth services, family relationship services, school counseling, and social housing. Their commitment to empowering communities and individuals, regardless of background or economic status, reflects their mission to help everyone reach their full potential and live fulfilling lives.
With a history rooted in the merger of Centacare Ballarat, CatholicCare Melbourne/Gippsland, and CatholicCare Sandhurst in 2021, Ballarat Family Relationship Centre is a result of strategic alignment among the social service agencies of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne and the Catholic Dioceses of Ballarat, Sale, and Sandhurst. This collaboration has enabled the Centre to expand its reach and impact, providing comprehensive support services across various office locations and outreach sites throughout Victoria.
Ballarat Family Relationship Centre, under the umbrella of CatholicCare Victoria, upholds a philosophy of respect for the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters of Victoria, paying homage to Elders past and present. Their focus on building resilience, promoting family unity, and offering advocacy services underscores their dedication to creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all individuals and groups in need of assistance.
