If you are aged up to 25 and are caring for a relative or friend with a disability or illness, Carer Gateway can offer you a range of support to help you in your caring role.

If you experience an urgent, unplanned event, that temporarily restricts your ability to perform care duties, we can organise emergency respite care for the person you are caring for.

You can improve your skills and resilience needed to achieve your goals in your caring role, through this free psycho-educational service by engaging with a coach across a period of time in person, online or by phone.

The Carer Skills courses provide information, insights and practical tips to help carers develop new understanding and skills important in their caring role.

You can connect with people in similar circumstances and decrease carer strain through connection and sharing experiences through the online community forum or via local in-person events.

If you are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed, you can access free short-term counselling services in person, online or by phone with a qualified counsellor.

As a carer, you may be eligible to receive one of the tailored support packages to buy a one-off support item or training program to assist you in your caring role or for a range of other practical supports, such as planned respite or transport.

Listen to interviews with experts and carers who share specialised information and inspiring stories about the caring role.
