While preference will be given to those who have not attended a Carer Kafe Learning and Development retreat in the last 12 months, those who have attended previously can also apply. More than one adult member per carer household can also apply, however preference will be given to individuals to attend.

On 28-29 June 2025 a Learning and Development Retreat for Carers of First Nations Children will be held in Lancefield.
