Our group is a long running support group with exemplary support and advocacy for all carers. Our meetings are structured to allow you time and space to speak and respond to care matters that impact you and others in the group. We provide education and training of carers and are actively involved in recruiting new carers. New carers and those thinking of taking on caring are most welcome. We work closely with agencies and the department and with other support organisations. All this is provided by highly experienced, very well educated and influential advocates. No issue is too difficult for us. We are there for you - and the children on your care journey.
