This National Carers Week, we’re recognising the incredible contribution of carers.

Behind every caring role is a relationship. A parent, partner, sibling, friend or loved one who wants the very best for someone they care about.

Carers provide so much more than practical support. They offer encouragement, advocacy, reassurance and stability, often helping someone navigate some of life’s most complex challenges.

When it comes to the NDIS, choosing the right provider can feel overwhelming. That’s where our team can help. At BGF, we work alongside participants and their support networks to help make navigating the NDIS a little easier, so carers can focus on what matters most – supporting the person they care about.

To all carers, thank you for the time, dedication and love you give every day. ❤️

If you’re supporting a loved one to access NDIS services, our latest blog post shares some practical tips for choosing the right provider: https://www.bgf.org.au/finding-the-right-ndis-provider/

Today is World Mental Health Day.

We all know how important mental health is for our wellbeing, and each of us has a different lived experience of what mental health means.

At BGF, we have 40 years of experience in listening and actively supporting people living with HIV navigate mental and physical health challenges. We've seen firsthand how difficult it can be to advocate for yourself when you have poor mental health. It's vital that we allow people with lived experience the chance to write their own futures.

Today and every day, we're here for you ❤️
