Join Carers Victoria Community of Practice Program

A FREE five session program for Volunteer/Unpaid Carer Facilitators of Support Groups by Carers Victoria

We work closely with Carer Support Group facilitators and know that you want practical skills and ongoing opportunities to connect with your peers.

We have established a Community of Practice program, by creating a safe space where volunteers or unpaid facilitators of carer support groups can connect and share.

The first four gatherings will initially be hosted online and will include facilitators from across all of Victoria. Sessions will be held every two months, with a total of five sessions in 2025. This includes a final face-to-face celebration and evaluation workshop in December.

Participants are encouraged to come along to every session, to build this community of facilitators.
