Parents & Carers
As well as supporting people with disabilities and their families, we believe in developing opportunities for parents and carers to ensure their lives, as well as the lives of those they care for and their immediate families, are enriched. We do this through assisting parents and carers to participate in their local community, foster relationships that strengthen informal networks provide information and support to plan for their future through key stages of life.
1. Caring for the Carer
To overcome some of the barriers that are associated with caring for a family member with a disability, Interchange Illawarra believes in providing holistic support to parents and carers.
2. Workshops & Information
We can provide one-on-one support to parents & carers to assist with the development of visual aids to support communication with the person you care for.
3. We Value Your Feedback
Your feedback, as well as ideas and suggestions for different activities is very much appreciated.

We know recently there has been a lot of doom & gloom in the news, and we would like to share as much positivity as we can.
Over the past few weeks during these uncertain times, both Interchange support workers and the families we support have proven yet again why we are so lucky to work with such great people.
In particular we would like to thank Renai, Annette, and Paul who have gone above and beyond to source hygiene products for Interchange in their own time.
We want to say a big thank you for your dedication, it is appreciated and does not go unnoticed.
Makes me very proud- thanks for putting in the hard yards and volunteering your time. We are all in this together and your contributions matter
Thank you for going above and beyond ⭐️
Renai Fuller you always thinking of others, am proud to call you my bestie.

Hi everyone
We hope everyone is coping okay under such difficult circumstances. As you probably already know we, along with many other Providers, are unable to continue running our Social Support Program until it is safe for both the people that attend and our Support Workers.
We will continue to update you via email with what we are up to as we respond to the changing rules and advice from our Prime Minister and the Australian Government Department of Health.
If you are registered with Interchange and you haven't been receiving updates from us please contact the office to check we have your correct email address.
If you have any concerns or would just like to talk to someone please don't hesitate to give your Support Planner a call on 4227 1079. We are here for you as much as we can be.

We have a limited amount of toilet paper that we are able to share to families registered with Interchange who are in real need of some.
If you are getting desperate for toilet paper and need a couple of rolls to get you through, call us on 4227 1079 with details how we can arrange this.
*Please note our supply is very limited & you must call to express your interest before receiving toilet paper, and please only do so if you are really running low at home.
