Expression of Interest – New family & Carer Services
During our recent community engagement events, many families expressed a desire for DSIDQ to provide additional support and services for families and carers.
In response, we are excited to be partnering with Wellways, Carer Gateway to deliver two new free services designed specifically for families and carers of a person with intellectual disability.
Carer Coaching
Work one-on-one with a coach and to identify, explore, and move towards your own personal goals. In-person and online coaching is about taking time out to reflect on your own well-being and consider how you can find space in your life to balance your needs with those of the people you care for.
Carer Events
Participate in local carer events that provide opportunities to hear from guest speakers, connect with other carers, and take a break from your caring role. These events are for unpaid carers and family members only.
Programs are expected to begin in February 2026.
**Please note that submitting an EOI does not guarantee a place in the program, but we will contact all who express interest.
