Bunyarra and Salem
These services were developed when Tuggeranong was a "nappy valley" and demand for quality affordable care was high. While the demographics have changed, demand is still high and the centres continue to provide an exceptional level of care, with nourishing meals and a caring staff and constructive developmental programs.

The buildings in which we operate are owned by the ACT government.

The centres operate under the banner of UnitingCare Children's Services. Uniting Care is one of the largest service providers in NSW/ACT

Our Names

Bunyarra is an Aboriginal word meaning "sweet". Salem derives its name from Jesus visit to a village, Salem, where the mothers of the village brought their children to him for a blessing. Jesus valued children where others wanted them "out of sight", and told the crowd not to hinder them "for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these". (Matthew 19: 13-15)
