Testimonials

Cass Mills, Program Lead

“Centacare has supported me through every stage — from student placement, frontline work to leadership roles. The ‘grow your own’ philosophy is real, and I have felt valued every step of the way. It’s more than just the visible benefits like salary packaging and Grace Days — it’s the behind-the-scenes support, the family-friendly culture, and the genuine care that makes Centacare a truly special place to work.”

Kena Cui, Counsellor

“I initially joined Centacare as a nervous student, unsure of the journey ahead. Today, I am proud to return as an employee in my dream job. What initially drew me to Centacare was its genuine care for people. Throughout my time at Centacare, my managers and colleagues have consistently encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone and explore my potential.”

Nathan Cox, Regional Manager

“Centacare’s emphasis on connection is rare — from newsletters to team days, it builds a culture of belonging, where staff feel valued. I started as a student on placement and now lead a team in an area I’m passionate about. Centacare offers more than a job — it’s a pathway for growth, support, and genuine care.”

Tamara Clark, Human Resource Advisor

“I love working at Centacare because I know I’m making a difference! The support from leadership, flexibility, inclusive culture and professional development opportunities have been incredible. I am especially grateful for the experiences and friendships I have gained along the way.”
