💙 National Carers Week is such an important reminder of the incredible strength and love behind every caring role.
We are so proud of the amazing team at RippleAbility for continuing to raise awareness and advocate for carers’ voices to be heard. Monique’s story is one that resonates deeply — we know many of our own families have faced similar challenges, balancing care, health, and everything in between.
At West Coast Ability, we want you to know that you’re never alone. We’re always here to help where we can — and to guide you towards the right supports when we can’t. 💫
💙This week is National Carers Week — and it’s personal.
In this month’s issue of the Medical Forum Magazine, Monique shares her story of being forced to choose between undergoing essential surgery or leaving her children without safe care.
It’s a story many carers will recognise. A reminder that behind every support plan, every medical appointment, and every NDIS application, there’s often someone holding it all together — and doing it without a safety net.
📰 You can read the full article on page 28 of Medical Forum’s October issue.
