Help for carers

The Carer Gateway is an Australian Government program providing free services and support for carers.

Carer Gateway services and support are provided by organisations like Carers ACT, so people can rest assured they are speaking to someone local who understands their experience.

If you care for a family member or friend with a disability, a medical condition, mental health challenges, or who is frail due to age, then the Carer Gateway can help you.

In addition, many services, programs and respite opportunities are available to carers, like those provided by Carers ACT. Find out more about the sorts of services available to carers in the ACT here.
