The Carer’s Weekend Away is aimed to give much needed rest and relaxation to parents/carer’s that devote the majority of their time and energy caring for other people’s needs.  This year’s Carer’s Weekend Away was held at the Crowne Plaza Resort which is located on the beach overlooking Terrigal on the Central Coast.

Each year roughly 30 carers are invited to attend the weekend, they can choose to be involved in planned group activities or spend the weekend relaxing on their own. This year some carers spent time at the hotel day spa getting pampered while others went out and explored the local attractions such as Gosford Regional Art Gallery, Japanese Gardens, Erina Fair, and pelican feeding at The Entrance.

On the Saturday night the group then met to have a beautiful three course dinner at a local restaurant with plenty of good conversation and a few laughs. This is such a great opportunity for our carers to get together and have a relaxing weekend away.
