About this event

Join us for a relaxed lunch at the beautiful Edge Restaurant, created especially for carers who are new to Carers Victoria and have not previously attended one of our events. This is a gentle and welcoming opportunity to take a break from your caring role, enjoy a lovely meal, and connect with others who understand what caring can involve.

The atmosphere will be calm and social, with plenty of space to meet other local carers, build connections, and learn about the supports and services available through Carers Victoria and in your community. Our Carers Victoria team will be there to welcome you, answer questions, and provide support during the event.

If you’re new to caring, or new to Carers Victoria we would love to have you join us. Take some time for yourself, unwind and enjoy a few hours in good company.
