For those in need of support, we provide communities of care, compassion and respect in which you'll feel secure and valued – a place where you feel you belong and accepted. Walking alongside those in need, we strive to ensure that no one is denied the chance to live life to their full potential because of adverse circumstances. Since 1949, Carinity (formerly Queensland Baptist Care) has been making a real difference in people's lives through comprehensive and integrated community services. These include the provision of care to the frail aged, shelters for homeless youth, helping families and young people through difficult times, support for people with disability, secure retirement lifestyle communities, chaplaincy support and alternative education for teenagers who struggle in traditional schools.
