Carers Victoria delivers education sessions for individual carers and groups. Designed from evidence based practice, these sessions support you to develop skills to support you in your caring role, gain knowledge to navigate complex support service systems and enhance your health and wellbeing.
Carer workshops are FREE to carers unless indicated and are scheduled on our public calendar. Topics are divided into categories to help you find what you are looking for.
Our Education Team will run workshops for a group of ten or more carers at the time and place you choose. Programs can be customised or developed to suit needs.
To book or for more information on our workshops please send us an enquiry.
