Cooinda offers a cross border sibling support program:
(1) in Wodonga and (2) in Albury . Both groups cater for the
two child/ adolescent age groups of 5 to 9 years old and 9
to 17 years old. Activities are chosen to be recreational,
skill building and to foster person to person support. Activities
for each group are held in the afternoons. The Albury program
operates on Tuesday from 3.30 to 6 pm for the 5-9 yr old group
and Thursday, 3.30 to 6 pm for the 9-17 yr old group. In Wodonga
the 5-9 yr old group meets on Mondays from 3.30 to 6.00 pm
and the 9 to 17 yr old group on Wednesdays 3.30 to 6 pm. A
