Centacare Australia launches new Web Site

Today, the Chairperson of Centacare Australia, Mr David Beaver, launched the new Web site for Centacare Australia.

"I am pleased to announce the establishment of a new permanent Internet Web site for Centacare Australia the national network of Catholic social service agencies. This site will provide information to the public about the services offered by the Member Agencies of Centacare Australia" he said.

"Considerable development has been undertaken to ensure the site is both eye catching and functional for the public and the Centacare Australia membership.

"As the site is developed, the growing number of Australians with access to the Internet will be able to seek information about the availability of a wide range of family and individual support services being offered by the Church’s social welfare organisations. This information will assist families who find themselves experiencing some form of distress to find the closest Church social service organisation nearest them."

Mr Beaver stated "The Web site also provides a unique opportunity for the Centacare Australia to communicate quickly with its membership on the latest developments in social policy and service delivery techniques. This mode of communication is becoming increasingly important for informing and securing the ongoing delivery of Church services in an ever-changing world. This information is available to members of Centacare Australia using a restricted area of the site accessible from the Homepage"

"The Centacare Australia Web site initiative launches the Church’s social service sector into the new millennium!" he concluded.

The site can be found at www.centacare.com.au
