Carer Escapes is governed by the Board of Carer Connections & Retreats Incorporated, a registered Incorporated Association in NSW. Our Board is made up of individuals with lived experience, sector knowledge, and a shared commitment to carer wellbeing. The Board provides strategic oversight, ensures accountability and transparency, and upholds our mission and values in all decision-making.
We are committed to best practice governance, including regular review of our policies, clear separation of governance and operational roles, and ongoing engagement with carers and stakeholders. Our governance framework supports a culture of safety, inclusion, and continuous improvement, ensuring Carer Escapes delivers high-quality, responsive programs for carers across NSW.
Carer Escapes began in 2017, founded by carer Lisa-Marie, whose vision was to create meaningful programs and partnerships that supported the wellbeing of unpaid carers. When Lisa-Marie moved on in 2022, fellow carer Claudia stepped in, weaving her own lived experience and passion for carer wellbeing into every aspect of Carer Escapes.
Balancing her caring role at home, Claudia gradually expanded Carer Escapes, building new connections and growing programs across NSW. Today, Carer Escapes continues to evolve, driven by a deep commitment to making every carer feel seen, heard, and supported in a welcoming community.
