Temcare is a Christian social services agency that has been operating since 1968, providing care and support to children, young people and families across Melbourne.  

Our services are grouped under several programs – HOPE, NURTURE, MATES, CAMPS, and FOOD – each designed to support families in times of vulnerability and to demonstrate the love of Christ in practical, relational ways.  

Temcare operates without government funding and is sustained through the generosity of individuals, churches, businesses and charitable trusts who share our mission and vision.
