Carers are awesome and we appreciate all that you do to support that special person in your life who needs you.

As you know, being a carer is rewarding but it can also have its challenges.

Sometimes you may feel all alone in your caring role.

It's important for you to know that you are not alone.

In fact, there are approximately 2.65 million carers in Australia.

The Australian government recognises the important role you have, as a carer, and to support you they have designed the Carer Gateway (in consultation with other carers) to provide a range of practical supports to nurture your wellbeing and to provide you with tools to sustain you in your caring role. 

Please join us to discover how the Carer Gateway can support you and how to access services, such as: 

• Emergency respite

• Carer directed support packages

• Counselling

• Peer support

• Facilitated coaching

• Young carer support (25 years and under)

• Skills courses

There is no citizenship, residency or specific visa requirement to be eligible for the program.

We look forward to having you joining us.

The Carer Gateway - Information Session for Carers is brought to you by the Benevolent Society. Register and you'll receive instructions for joining the session.
