About Carer Kafe

Carer Kafe is a program where carers can gather with like-minded people and gain practical knowledge to manage challenges with a fresh perspective.

It’s a welcoming space for home-based carers of children and young people in Victoria to come together, share, yarn and grow their confidence in caring for future generations.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waterways on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to the land, water and community. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

We appreciate and celebrate diversity in all its forms. We believe diversity of all kinds makes our teams, services and organisation stronger and more effective.
