Testimonials
Centacare has been great and so supportive. Even though I’m not on Centrelink, I cannot afford to pay the whole thing but the payment is so flexible.
I had a personal crisis during work experience and I ended up in tears. I called my trainer on the way home and she stopped and talked to me and consoled me. Then I made an appointment with Andrea, Centacare’s counsellor, and she has been very supportive. I highly recommend Centacare to everyone.
I would recommend Centacare to a lot of people; they give you the best experience and teach you a lot of knowledge that you’ll have for the rest of your life. I’d tell anyone if they want to do the Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) course then join up, you’ll have a good time. It was a very good experience.
