Description: Carer Gateway is an Australian Government program providing free services and support for carers of a family member or friend with disability, a medical condition, mental illness, or who is frail due to age. Services include: in-person and online peer support groups; tailored support packages to help with accessing planned respite, transport services, and more; in-person and phone counselling; in-person and online self-guided coaching; online skills courses to support your wellbeing and understanding of legal responsibilities relating to the caring role; access to emergency respite. Each region in Australia has a Carer Gateway service provider who either provides services and support to you directly or organises support for you through another organisation. For example, respite care. When you call Carer Gateway, you will speak to your local service provider. This means that the person you talk to knows what support and services are available in the area.
