Over three-quarters of a million Victorians are unpaid carers.
They’re everyday people who provide unpaid care and support to family members or friends with a disability, mental illness, substance addiction, chronic health issue or an older person with care needs. They’re parents, children, partners, other relatives and friends who assist with a variety of daily activities.
There’s at least a 1 in 10 chance that you are, know or will be a carer. Join Carers Victoria this National Carers Week 11-17 October 2026 to recognise these incredible people!
Here at Torquay Community House, we host a number of free services that support carers.
Mental Health & Wellbeing Connect - Mondays fortnightly, 9am - 12pm
Dementia Care & Support - information session Tuesday 20th October, 10:30am - 12pm, followed by 5 week program starting Tuesday 10th November.
