This lunch is about recognising you\, celebrating the difference you make\, and giving you an opportunity to be cared for too. \nYou spend so much time caring for others — this time\, let us care for you. \n \n#NCW26 #CarersVictoria #CareForACarer

SUMMARY:Carers Retreat Day
DESCRIPTION:A chance to step away from the demands of home and caring\, because sometimes it is much easier to truly switch off when you’re somewhere different. A peaceful environment\, fewer responsibilities and time in nature\, can create space to exhale\, rest\, reset and reconnect with yourself\, rather than always being the person looking after everyone else. Gentle wellbeing\, somatic and nervous system activities to help you slow down\, settle and feel more regulated\nNature based and creative activities\, with plenty of unstructured time to rest\, read\, wander or simply do nothing\nBeautiful bushland surroundings and a beach just a few minutes’ walk away\nConnection with other carers who understand some of the realities of caring\, without needing to explain everything\nLunch included\, so there is less to organise and think about

SUMMARY:The Manager is Me
DESCRIPTION:The Manager Is Me is a funny\, moving solo theatre work about the invisible labour of caring\, parenting\, working and somehow trying to hold onto yourself in the middle of it all. \nWritten and performed by 2025 Victorian Australian Poetry Slam Champion Dayna Fallon\, the show draws on her own experience of caring for her husband through complex health issues while raising three young children and working. \nThrough comedy\, spoken word and theatre\, The Manager Is Me shines a light on the emotional and practical work carers do every day — often quietly\, often behind closed doors\, and often without even thinking of themselves as carers. \nIt is a show about being the person everyone relies on\, making people laugh when things are falling apart\, and what happens when the person doing all the caring finally needs care too. \nFunny first\, but with real emotional weight underneath\, The Manager Is Me aims to help carers feel seen and to encourage audiences to recognise the caring work happening around them every day. \nPerforming at The Salon\, The Motley Wherehaus\, as part of Melbourne Fringe 2026.
