Governance & Strategy
Governance
Family Spirit is a partnership between Marist180 and CatholicCare Sydney. By working together, we can foster better outcomes for vulnerable children, young people and families.
The partnership brings together deep and complementary knowledge, expertise and networks from both agencies.
From client facing services to operational management, we invest in training and support to ensure that all of our staff have the best skills for the important work they do supporting families.
