Whether you’re a carer for a few hours a week or all day every day, this group will give you a chance to relax, unwind, socialise, and find out helpful information. LGBTIQA+ carers have unique joys and challenges and this is a space that’s just for you.
This program celebrates all forms of caring relationships. Carers may be friends, partners, biological family members or family of choice. You may be looking after someone living with a disability, mental health condition, chronic or terminal illness, addiction or an older person with care needs.
