Rainbow Carers

May 7, 2020 by Michael

Michael and Cal sat down to chat with Stephanie Worsteling – General Manager Carer and Community Services at Carers Victoria. We discuss hoe people in caregiving positions are navigating COVID-19 restrictions. Stephanie highlights how PLHIV and LGBTI people make up the ~700,000 carers in Victoria, and the unique challenges for queer carers.

Some things we discussed this week:
