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