The Anglicare NQ Way

Rooted in our communities. Responding to local needs.

Anglicare North Queensland is shaped by the unique communities, cultures and experiences of the region we serve.

Across North and Far North Queensland, our teams bring local knowledge, strong relationships and a deep understanding of community needs to everything we do. We recognise that every community is different, and meaningful outcomes are achieved by listening, connecting and responding in ways that are relevant and respectful.

For more than 30 years, we have worked alongside individuals, families and communities across the region, delivering a diverse range of services that respond to local priorities and changing needs, including housing and homelessness, youth support, education and training, community wellbeing and diversionary services.

Our reach extends from Townsville to Airlie Beach in the south and northward to Cairns, the Atherton Tablelands, Cape York and the Torres Strait. Supported by more than 200 employees and volunteers, we remain committed to creating inclusive communities and responding to social disadvantage across North Queensland.

Celebrating 25 years of Anglicare North Queensland

For a quarter of a century, we have worked alongside people facing life's challenges, providing housing, family support, wellbeing and community services across the region.

This milestone is an opportunity to recognise the dedication of our employees, volunteers, partners and supporters whose commitment has helped create lasting positive outcomes for thousands of people.

Thank you for being part of our first 25 years.
