Testimonals

Here are some testimonials from our most recent Carer Hangouts.

"I found it very helpful. I met other carers on the zoom sessions and we exchanged information that was helpful."

"I just started attending. It’s good to listen to other carers how they struggled/coped. I don’t feel so alone in my struggle then."

"I need all the help I can get from people with lived experience & to have time out with other carers to break the isolation as I have no family support."

2nd Thursday of every month.

For carers who are unable to attend physical groups, Carer Peer Connect runs webinars with presentations provided on carer health and wellbeing, carers and the NDIS, My Aged Care, future planning for carers and other topics as requested.
