Carers Australia

Carers Australia strive to promote recognition of all carers to the wider community and government.

Carers Australia through the network of carers associations in each state and territory provides help and support to carers by way of counselling, advice, education and training.

Caring for someone can be a rewarding experience. It can also be very physically and emotionally challenging. Caring for someone can effect a person's work, social and family life.

Carers can access a wide range of information and support services by visiting the Carers Australia website at www.carersaustralia.com.au

For help with being a carer and to find out about services in your local area contact your Carers Association on 1800 242 636.
