The MercyCare Difference
We believe that every person deserves safety, support and feel they are a part of their community. Each member of our Community, Family and Children Services team brings compassion, actively listening to the people who trust us to deliver services.
They have the courage to support people to bring out their strengths, work towards independence and encourage their sense of belonging. Our team bring their lived experiences, diverse skills and collaborate with community and partners to make a positive difference to people’s lives. We believe in collaboration and social impact driven by evidence-based, trauma-informed practice.
At MercyCare we believe every person matters. We are driven by strong values and are passionate about creating positive change.
