Camcare is a not-for-profit,
community based organisation that has operated in Boroondara for over thirty years.
Camcare focuses on meeting a range of support needs which result from adversities such as unemployment, ill health, difficulties in relationships, financial stress and hardship, including homelessness and food security issues.
Our staff provide services in people’s homes, schools and other community settings as well as at our two offices in Camberwell and Ashburton. These services aim to help people when they first seek support as well as when the issues they face have become more severe.
The last year has seen the economic downturn, increasing unemployment and the Black Saturday bushfires impact directly and indirectly on the health and well being of many individuals and families in Victoria. As a consequence, demand for our services and the urgency and complexity of these issues presented have increased.
Our Mission
To support children, young people, adults and families
through the challenges in their lives and empower them to deal with these challenges.
We do this by helping our clients to develop skills and build resilience.
