Our story
Our history is one of resilience, innovation, and unwavering compassion. From our beginnings as a women’s refuge in 1870 to becoming one of Queensland’s most respected care providers, we’ve always been driven by a deep commitment to community wellbeing.
Our commitment to community
We believe that strong communities are built on care, inclusion, and opportunity. That’s why we invest in initiatives that support people at every stage of life, from early intervention programs for children and families to aged care services that promote independence and wellbeing. Through our partnerships, advocacy efforts, and direct support programs, we’re working to create a Queensland where no one is forgotten.
Trusted to be there.
Our governance and planning
Strong leadership and sound governance ensure that we continue to serve Queenslanders with excellence and integrity. Strategic planning helps us grow, innovate, and respond effectively to the evolving needs of our communities.

Trusted to be there
No one should have to face life’s challenges alone. Whether it’s helping older Queenslanders stay independent at home, supporting a young person in crisis, or lending a hand to families doing it tough, we’re here to make a difference.
Every year, we support over 40,000 people across aged care, youth and family services, counselling programs, and homelessness outreach. With a team of more than 3,000 staff and 600 volunteers, we’re committed to helping Queenslanders live with dignity, security, and hope.
As times change, our promise stays the same: to stand with you, listen, and act with kindness and integrity.
Today
Today, we’re one of Queensland’s leading providers of aged care, youth and family support, counselling services, and homelessness assistance. We work tirelessly to help people live independently, feel supported, and stay connected.
Each year, Anglicare Southern Queensland delivers 1.25 million hours of community aged care, provides more than 400,000 of nights of care for children and young people through our foster and kinship services, and supports thousands of women and young children experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness. We also advocate for policies that make our state fairer and more inclusive for all Queenslanders.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and care.
Tomorrow
We’re more than a care provider – we’re a voice for change. As Queensland grows and new challenges emerge, we’re working to make sure everyone has access to the support they need.
That means strengthening our aged care services, tackling homelessness, and advocating for a more just and inclusive society. Through innovation, collaboration, and a deep sense of purpose, we’re shaping a future where no one is forgotten.
With the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and community partners, we’ll keep walking alongside Queenslanders, today, tomorrow, together.
Together
We proudly stand alongside our clients and our community, providing care, strength and a sense of belonging. People are at the centre of what we do. With a 150-year-strong history, we work together to build on all that’s gone before us and enable our clients, and our staff, thrive, grow and make a positive impact on the community.
We are here to help those who truly need us, wherever they are, whenever it may be.
We are here to connect with people, supporting those who need a helping hand and empowering those who are finding their strength. Together we are doing what we can to improve the lives of those in the community we serve.
At Anglicare, we turn up today, tomorrow and together, so people can turn to us when they need us most.
