Wanda
Wanda is our mobile carer support service, bringing free, face-to-face support directly to communities across the Blue Mountains and regional Queensland.
Whether you’re looking for practical advice, emotional support, or help navigating systems like NDIS or aged care – Wanda meets you where you are.
We work in partnership with local community organisations to make support easier to access, more personal, and closer to home.
Where does Wanda go?
Wanda travels across communities visiting towns, health services, community centres, and local events, to make sure carers can get the support they need – when and where it suits them.
