Carers Support Group Grant

Open
Written By Cristy Houghton

Carer support groups provide a safe and welcoming space for carers to share knowledge, tips and advice, and to connect with local services. By fostering connection and shared learning, these groups support carers’ mental health, social wellbeing, and resilience, including during periods of loss and bereavement.

Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network is seeking expressions of interest from community groups and/or organisations to establish or maintain carer support groups for unpaid carers of people with a life‑limiting illness, including dementia.
