Anglicare Tas

What Anglicare Tas does

Anglicare Tasmania Inc. is a Tasmanian not-for-profit community services organization, founded in 1983 by the Anglican Church and headquartered in Hobart, that operates a statewide portfolio of welfare, health, and housing programs across eight offices (Hobart, Glenorchy, Sorell, Launceston, St Helens, Devonport, Burnie, Zeehan). Its service lines fall into three groups: Aged and Home Care (Support at Home, Nursing and Allied Health, Veteran and CHSP, Tas HACC, Self-Funded Home Care), Community Support Services (Financial Counselling, Gamblers Help, Housing, Children/Youth/Family, Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug), and Acquired Injury Support Services (Attendant Care and Residential Care funded by MAIB). Housing is a strategic pillar: Anglicare delivers the Housing Connect Front Door statewide in the North and North West regions (with Colony 47 in the South), runs four Youth2Independence facilities on the Foyer Foundation's Education First Youth Foyer model (Trinity Hill and Campbell Street in Hobart, Thyne House in Launceston, Eveline House in Devonport), operates Youthcare short-term crisis accommodation, and operates Curraghmore, an NDIS-registered Supported Independent Living property in Devonport for psychosocial disability. Specialized programs include The Way Back suicide-aftercare service (designed by Beyond Blue and delivered from three public hospitals), ADATS and ADATS+ alcohol/drug treatment, and the in-house Social Action and Research Centre (SARC), which publishes reports on rental affordability, gambling harm, and cost-of-living that inform Tasmanian policy.

The business model is government-funded services plus charitable donations. Primary revenue comes from Tasmanian government contracts administered through Homes Tasmania (Housing Connect, Y2I, supported accommodation), federal programs including NDIS (Curraghmore SIL, acquired injury support), and the Motor Accidents Insurance Board (MAIB) for acquired injury. A secondary revenue stream is donations (tax-deductible over $2) directed through the Winter Appeal, parish partnerships, and bequests to the CEO. A smaller tertiary stream is client fees via Self-Funded Home Care and self-funded respite at Curraghmore. The organization is accredited to ISO 9001:2015 (held continuously since 1999), ACIS (audited 2025), the Australian Childhood Foundation Safeguarding Children Program (since 2006 pilot), the CMA Standards Council, and is an ACNC-registered charity (since 3 December 2012) and Tasmanian Government Employer of Choice. Go-to-market relies on referral pathways from GPs (Primary Health Tasmania hosts referral forms for ADATS, ADATS+, The Way Back, and Gamblers Help), hospitals, government services (Housing Connect, Housing Connect 24/7 line 1800 800 588), parish networks, plus a Salesforce-backed careers funnel and a multi-channel awareness stack (website, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Snapshot newsletter, earned media). There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery uses standard health, housing, and welfare systems.
