Services
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.

“All kids want to play. Kids with disabilities are no different. “Ian” is a short, animated film inspired by the real-life Ian, a boy with a disability determined to get to the playground despite his playmates bullying him. This film sets out to show that children with disabilities can and should be included.”

Community Inclusion Interchange style!
Rony and his worker Daryl had a ripper of a day yesterday fishing at the Shoalhaven River. Rony caught five fish, including a 46cm Flathead and a 27cm Bream. At which point he handed Daryl the rod, saying that it was about time he did something!
They have fished off the bank together four times now, and Daryl says one of the best things for both of them has been sharing Rony's improvement and self-confidence. Well done guys!
