From Convent to state-of-the-art perinatal mental wellbeing service

Catherine’s House has been named in honour of Catherine McAuley, the founding Sister of Mercy who began her life-long work in helping the community in 1831.

By November 2022, Catherine’s House will have been transformed from an empty building— after a devastating storm in November 2014 that destroyed many parts of it—to become home to a dedicated perinatal mental health service in Queensland.

Once again, it will be a home and a sanctuary; a place for healing and growth in the heart of our community.
