Bushfire Community Recovery Service:

The bushfires of early February 2009 had a major impact on Gippsland communities. Initial funding was provided by the Commonwealth to provide community support and counselling for families and individuals who are not coping emotionally.

Centacare has received further funding, to provide services over 3 years, from the Archdiocese of Melbourne Bushfire Appeal, Diocese of Sale Bushfire Appeal and specific donations to Centacare directly.
