Carers Wellbeing Day 2024

Published on 10 September 2024

Are you a carer?

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Carers Wellbeing Day.

National Carers Week 2024 (13 -19 October) recognises, celebrates and raises awareness about the three million Australians who provide care and support to a family member or friend.

This year the Carers Hub will be holding our second ever Carers Wellbeing Day on 15 October. It is delivered with support from Carers Victoria, healthAbility and Banyule City Council.

Activities for the day have been designed with carers in mind, and include a range of opportunities to relax, recharge and connect with others.
