“What will happen when it becomes harder to care for my child?”
This program from UnitingCare Wesley Bowden assists older parent carers of a child with a disability (over 25), to plan and prepare ahead for a time when the caring role will change and an alternative care plan will be required. Information/Focus groups assist carers to find pathways into the planning process. (Carers over 65 or over 50 if Indigenous Australian).
