Emergency Relief Tasmania

Emergency Relief is financial or material aid to assist during financial hardship or an unexpected crisis in your life.

Emergency Relief update

As of October 1st, 2025, CatholicCare Tasmania will no longer be providing Emergency Relief services in Tasmania. This change is due to updates in government funding and service delivery arrangements.

While Emergency Relief services are coming to an end for CatholicCare, support to Tasmanian communities and individuals continues through services being delivered by our community peers. We remain committed to ensuring individuals and families can access the support they need. We will continue to help connect you with trusted providers across the state who offer emergency relief services.
