Dear sisters and brothers,

Re: Appointment of New Director of Centacare Catholic Family Services

Grace and peace, I hope this note finds you well.

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Leanne Haddad as Director of Centacare Catholic Family Services. As many of you know, Leanne has for the past year been Deputy Director, providing leadership, corporate and service delivery support to Director Pauline Connelly.

Leanne has worked in both Government and non-Government services across operational child protection positions, policy and planning, learning and development, contract management, service design, leadership and executive roles. 

She joined Centacare in 2017 as Executive Manager of Children’s Services and turned at-risk contracts into highly successful programs which exceeded key performance indicators and outcomes, and increased service scope and funding. 

After guiding Centacare through a period of significant change, Pauline has chosen to return to her substantive position of Deputy Director.

We sincerely thank Pauline for her leadership over the past two years and we look forward to continuing to work with both her and Leanne in this exciting next phase of Centacare’s mission. 

In Domino,
+Patrick O'Regan
Archbishop of Adelaide
