Why Choose Anglicare?

We use the active method of support
Anglicare Tasmania is committed to providing high quality support through the evidence-based active support model. This person-centred approach enables the active participation of the client.
Active support builds on and celebrates the skills of the person being supported and uses the method of ‘doing with’, rather than ‘doing for’.
This approach is fundamental to promoting quality of life and emphasises the support of the individual to develop capability and regain independence.
