Supporting Carers

Almost 2.65 million Australians care for someone with disability, a medical condition, mental illness or someone who is frail due to age. The Australian Government helps carers remain engaged in the community, participate in the workforce and stay healthy while continuing their caring role through the provision of funding for a range of supports, services and financial assistance.

Research shows that helping carers manage their daily challenges can make a big difference to their lives and improve overall health and wellbeing.
