Ms Swan, who started in the role on January 9, replaces Kate Venables, who served as executive director for 10 years.
Ms Swan is highly qualified and brings a wealth of experience in the social services sector, including leadership roles within Centacare in the Brisbane Archdiocese for more than 10 years.
Bishop Howell said Ms Swan comes to the diocese “eminently qualified and no stranger to CatholicCare having previously worked short-term contracts in recent years”.
“I am sure that her appointment will lead to a strengthening of our mission and of our service to the community in the many endeavours of CatholicCare,” Bishop Howell said.
Ms Swan said she was “looking forward to working alongside the team at CatholicCare Social Services and continuing to support the delivery of much-needed services across our diverse communities”.
CatholicCare Social Services began offereing couples counselling in the Toowoomba Diocese in the early 1980s. Since then, the service has evolved to include psychology services, dispute resolution, drought counselling, First Nations youth support, migrant and refugee support.
CatholicCare extends its support beyond Toowoomba into the southwest region of Queensland.
