Project Officer From South Australia, Australia Australia flag
I work as a Project Officer (Forgotten Australians) with Helping Hand Aged Care on a project called Real Care the Second Time Around. The project aims to respond to the aged care needs of a large group of now older people known as Forgotten Australians - those 500,000 people who spent their childhoods in orphanages and other out of home care in Australia between 1930 and 1989.

I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs.
After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).

Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!

Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
