Carer Group Mornington

Previously was part of Peninsula Health but they have cut funding and we have continued to meet and manage ourselves. The other Peninsula Health carer groups in Rosebud and Hastings have been amalgamated into one and we now meet as one group at the Community Centre in Mornington. We have a mix of men and women caring for partners and adult children with disabilities and mental illness.
