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 are excited for Alison (Good360 Founder & MD) who has been nominated for the NSW Women of the Year Awards. Interchange has been a supporter of #Good360 since its beginning four years ago. If you come to our End of Year Party, all those wonderful gifts on the night have been purchased from #Good360. #Good360 is also our go to place when we are putting together Pamper Packs for Parents and Carers.
We cannot thank #Good360 enough for the furniture donations they have made to Interchange's offices and cottages, benefiting the people that use our service and their families.
Their kindness is appreciated beyond words.
Alison is a local girl and we are getting behind her and showing our support. You can too by voting at bit.ly/2TLgi3v

Good grief - that tall boy of mine doesn’t show happy very well! He had a blast!

In 2019, the International Women’s Day Illawarra Committee awarded seven individual scholarships of $2,000 each to encourage women in our community, who might not otherwise have the opportunity, to expand their knowledge, skill and experience in a field of their interest or in which they have shown great potential.
2019 saw the introduction of a new scholarship inspired by the memory of Gracie Wallis (2005-2018), the inaugural Gracie Wallis for Women Scholarship was created to help women with a disability to achieve their dreams.
