Carer services

Programs and support for carers.

Taking care of others is rewarding, yet mentally and physically taxing. It’s important to remember that you too deserve to feel supported and cared for.

No matter who you care for, providing care is easiest when you’re feeling at your best. Whether this be from social programs or peer support, knowing you’re not alone is important to maintain your overall wellbeing.

Everyone’s caring situation is different but could include, those caring for:

a child with a disability
a sibling with mental health needs
a relative with a chronic health condition
young people caring for a parent or sibling with a health or social issue
a neighbour who needs extra support
a loved one with mental health support needs
a member of your community with addiction.

How can we help?

We can help provide practical support, access information or other support services as well as provide peer support and social opportunities.

Above and beyond normal parenting.

Catherine's story

Catherine’s son, Luke, was diagnosed with autism in 2020. Her second child, Ben, was later diagnosed with developmental delay and is currently undergoing the autism spectrum disorder diagnostic proccess.

Becoming a carer is something most people don’t anticipate happening, Catherine goes on to describe.

“It’s a role that we didn’t ask for, that we didn’t choose, and it’s been thrown on us and we are coping with it as best we can. I think what we can contribute is helping the people we care for live to their full potential.”
