Centacare Newcastle was established in 1965 as the official welfare arm of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle. In 2011 its name was changed to CatholicCare Hunter-Manning Social Services. It was an adoption agency in its own right, but from 1997 handled Catholic and Anglican adoptions in the Newcastle area on behalf of Centacare Adoption Services and Anglicare Adoption Services.
