Dementia Alliance Carer Support Group

Dementia Alliance Carer Support Group is a welcoming, inclusive group that meets regularly to support carers of people living with dementia and special needs. We hold monthly carers' lunches and offer a range of meaningful activities including garden groups, craft sessions, and wellness programs. Our group provides a safe space for carers to share experiences, build connections, and access valuable resources. With a strong focus on lived experience, we aim to reduce isolation and empower carers in their journey. We are diverse, community-driven, and always open to new members looking for connection and support.

Our group offers a wide range of regular and seasonal activities throughout the year. These include:

Craft groups focused on creating fiddle blankets, comfort teddies, and other sensory items.
Gardening programs, including vegetable and herb gardens, a healing garden, and a pollinator garden where we build bee homes and bird boxes.
Monthly fishing BBQ lunches.
Guest speakers at our regular monthly carers’ lunches.
Diverse cultural celebration days recognising First Nations, CALD, and LGBTQIA+ communities.

All our activities are proudly supported by local community groups and service organisations. we provide a facility (20 acres) for other carer support groups to visit and hold activities.
