Welcome to the Family and Carer Research Advocacy Network (FaCRAN)   

The Family and Carer Research and Advocacy Network (FaCRAN) comprises family members, carers, academics and supporters who surface and centre the experiences of families and carers through collaborative research and advocacy.  FaCRAN is a Victorian based, nation-wide, group that uses research and advocacy to draw attention to the complexities of the lived experiences and positioning of family, carers, and supporters. Guided by collaborative methodologies, the network centres and creates leadership and capability development opportunities for families and carers. FaCRAN intentionally enacts gentle, accessible, and non-transactional research practices and seeks to collaborate with community partners.
