Centacare Housing Service is a Registered Housing Provider.
Our mission is to provide long-term affordable community housing options for people on low incomes aged 18 years and over.

Our housing stock includes a number of properties we manage on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services and 39 National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) homes that Centacare own.
