The team at Banksia provides carers with resources and tools to look after their loved ones. Caring for a loved one with a life-limiting illness can be isolating, lonely, and confronting. Our groups and education sessions aim to provide carers with opportunities to share and learn new skills, socialise with others and gain support from health professionals, including tools and physical activities to care for one’s self.
All Carers of Banksia clients are invited to attend this education session.
Hosted by our professional staff providing education and support on the topics of:
- What to expect when caring for someone with a life-limiting illness
- Self-care – the importance of looking after yourself during this time
- Question time
One week after the Session we will hold an online Q&A, to discuss anything that you may like to discuss.
For more information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator on 9455 0822 or email volunteer@banksiapalliative.com.au.
Our services are provided at no cost to our clients and their carers.

“This session was so beneficial for my sister and I. It gave a great overview of what to expect as his illness progresses and also what supports are available for Dad. It has reassured us both, that Banksia is there every step of the way.”
