Activities: The purpose of the agency is to promote training with the development of quality services so that people with special needs generally and particularly the children, are given opportunity to live life to the full. Callan Services enters into partnerships with Catholic Dioceses to establish projects such as the integration of individuals within the Education System, Catholic Health Services systems and Diocesan pastoral care services. The national network established across PNG opens opportunities for mutual support and sharing in training, specialist services, development, quality assurance monitoring and at times equipment and material resources. In some instances with the support of the local diocese, projects have been established in connection with government institutions such as hospitals. Training support has been given to personnel provided by other Churches and independent agencies.
