About the Carer Wellness Relaxation Day
MND Victoria is running Carer Wellness Relaxation Days for our carers to give them some tools for looking after themselves while caring for a loved one. The event is also an opportunity to relax and connect with other carers.
The same program will be run each day, so you only need to attend one to get the full experience. This is a free, fully catered event and is open to all current carers of people registered with MND Victoria. We are grateful to have received short term funding from the Victorian Government’s Support for Carers Program which has made this event possible.

We welcome any current carer to register to attend this Carer Wellness Relaxation Day in Ballarat. This program has been designed to give you a whole day of self care and relaxation, but you are most welcome to attend even if you are unable to be there for the whole day.
Accommodation is now available to assist you to attend, your loved one may like to visit Ballarat with you while you attend the carers program. Speak to the team for more details.
Who is a 'carer'?
You may see yourself as a partner, relative or friend, not a ‘carer’, when supporting someone you love and care for with motor neurone disease (MND). However, as a 'carer', you can access help from care services as care needs increase.
If you need assistance arranging for someone to be with your loved one to enable you to attend the event, speak to your MND Advisor/Support Coordinator who will be able to assist by referring to our Carer Respite Program.
