Carer Support

Our Caring for Carers activities create welcoming spaces where unpaid carers can connect, catch their breath, and find practical support. We focus on friendly faces, simple routines, and real‑world benefits—social connection, gentle self‑care, and easier pathways to help when it’s needed

Carers look after others. We’re here to look after carers

Relaxed carers catch‑ups and walks, a cuppa and conversation, practical tips,  information and warm referrals to local supports if you want them.  Come as you are, join when you can—no pressure, no fuss

For anyone who identifies as an unpaid carer in Healesville and surrounds

Pathways Carers Walks

Friendly, gentle walks and chats with other carers

We keep the pace easy, choose accessible routes, and finish with totally free cuppa and cake.

It’s a simple way to get some fresh air, meet people who “get it,” and pick up practical ideas without any pressure

Who it’s for: Unpaid carers—come solo or bring the person you care for if that helps

What to bring: Comfy shoes, water, weather‑appropriate clothing

Cost: Free
