October 16-22 is National Carers Week – recognising and celebrating the outstanding contribution Australia’s 2.8 million unpaid carers make to our nation.

Along with these year-round services, VMCH also hosts special events during National Carer’s Week. On October 19, VMCH joins with BrainLink to present ‘You and I’ – a musical event featuring Michael Cormick and Rachel Beck.
