Carer Gateway is the national network of support services for carers. Access counselling, peer support, planned and emergency respite, carer support planning, carer directed support packages and more.

Young carers are children and young people, 25 years or under, who help to support a family member or friend living with a disability, mental illness, drug or alcohol dependency, chronic condition, terminal illness or who is frail.

A range of services and support are available for carers living in NSW.

Carer support groups enable carers to meet and connect with other carers who understand the challenges of caring for a family member or friend.

We offer education sessions and workshops for both carers and service providers to build participant knowledge and skills. Our sessions raise awareness, build capacity, strengthen carer resilience and improve carer health and wellbeing.
