Wagga OOHC Support Group, is a beacon of warmth and support for carers in the Wagga Wagga region and beyond. As a collective of compassionate individuals from various agencies, we extend our arms to all carers, embracing diversity and fostering an open-minded environment.

At our heart, we are a community of caring souls dedicated to uplifting each other and the children in our care - whether through heartfelt conversations, shared experiences, or moments of laughter.

Our gatherings range from cozy evening dinners at local venues to joyful playdates where children are welcomed with open arms. Regardless of the occasion, the essence remains the same: a space where likeminded individuals can connect, support, and uplift one another.

All carers are warmly invited to be a part of our supportive network. Stay updated on our events and connect with fellow carers through our Facebook page.

Please note that all dates, times and venues are confirmed in advance via social media posts in our Facebook group. We include some evening dinners and some daytime play dates.
