Expression of Interest – New family & Carer Services

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 to identify, explore, and move towards your own personal goals. In-person coaching is about taking time out to think about your own well-being and consider how you can find space in your life to balance your needs and the needs of the people you care for.

Carer Peer Support Groups

Carer support groups enable carers to meet with other carers in their local community and online in a safe and supportive environment.The groups are led by a facilitator who will work with your group to design and run a short-term program with topics of interest to your group, and also provide an opportunity for you to build connections with other carers.

At this stage, we are collecting Expressions of Interest (EOIs) to:

Understand the level of community demand
Shape our service delivery approach

We would love to hear from you if you are interested in participating in either of these services. Please add your details below, and a member of our team will contact you once the program commences.

Programs are expected to begin in November 2025.

**Please note that submitting an EOI does not guarantee a place in the program, but we will contact all who express interest.
