We’re a non-profit community services organisation and a church that work as one to #DoMoreGood.
Our story of faith, hope and commitment began more than 200 years ago, when a pioneering church stepped out to make a difference for people who were being forgotten and marginalised.
From those small beginnings grew a bold and lasting mission. Today we’re still relentless in supporting all people, across all stages of life.
Our vital community services support children and families, older Australians, people living with disability and people who need pathways out of homelessness, addiction, mental health challenges, financial hardship, and tough domestic situations. We invest in communities with safety nets like Lifeline and advocate against systemic injustices like housing inequity and gambling harm. Our churches are places of spiritual growth, connection and hope.
In this world of extraordinary shifts, one thing does not change: we remain driven to do more good.
In 1958, we were a small band of parents and friends seeking support services for our children with disabilities. Today, Challenge Community Services has grown to be one of the largest community support services in New South Wales and South East Queensland.
Challenge Community Services provides support to over 2500 people from Albury to Ipswich, Sydney, Dubbo, Tamworth and beyond. With over 1,000 staff, 70 of which have a disability, we strive to comply with and exceed all standards required under State and Federal Acts.
We have established various services including Disability Services, Foster Care, Allied Health and Business Services.
Challenge Community Services is committed to providing person-centred programs and support to foster carers, children and young people, people with a disability and their families.
