Community Care Tasmania

Our story - award winning services
In 2020 Community Care TASMANIA celebrated 30 years of successfully providing local home care services to the whole Tasmanian community.

We began life in 1990 as the Community Options Service. This was a pilot project auspiced by the Launceston Migrant Resource Centre and funded through the Home and Community Care program (HACC). In 1994 NESB (Non-English Speaking Background) was added to the name to reflect our objective of meeting the needs of local migrant communities. With the 2003 introduction of community care we became Community Care NESB.

Since 2006 we have gradually expanded our reach to include the Northwest coast and Southern Tasmania. We now have well established home support services across both these regions.

In 2015, we changed our name to Community Care TASMANIA. Despite changes in name, office location and services, we have never wavered in our commitment to excellence in service delivery. We are responsive to new government directions and to the evolving needs of our community. That is why after more than a quarter of a century we are still here and growing.

We are committed to providing quality local home care to all Tasmanians. At the same time we remain the acknowledged experts in caring for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
