This National Carers Week 2025, we’re celebrating the incredible people — like Melissa — who balance their professional roles with the demands of caring for a loved one. One in three of our staff identify as carers, providing vital unpaid support to family or friends. 💛
To recognise and support them, we established the Intereach Carers Reference Group — a staff-led initiative that Melissa describes as “life-changing”.
As both a leader and lifelong carer for her son Jack, she’s found understanding, encouragement and purpose among peers who truly “get it”.

Intereach is proud to be partnering with Rebus to make community activities more accessible for people with disabilities.🫶
Stages of Empathy is a free, theatre-based training program designed for community members, organisations, and groups who want to make their spaces more welcoming and accessible for autistic people, and people with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities.
🌟 It’s creative. It’s interactive. It’s transformative. And you’re invited to take part!
The Stages of Empathy program has already inspired participants in Cootamundra, Albury, Wagga Wagga, Mildura, Griffith and Deniliquin — and it’s now heading to:
📍 Shepparton – Wednesday 15 October
📍 Seymour – Thursday 16 October
📍 Echuca – Friday 17 October
📍 Bendigo – Monday 18 November
If you’re part of a sports club, arts collective, hobby group or community organisation – or simply want to help build a more inclusive community – this workshop is for you.
Visit your local Intereach office or click the registration link in the comments to secure your spot.👇
Together with #Rebus, we’re using the power of collaboration and performance to create real social and cultural change.
