Where To Start

No matter who you are, taking on a caring role is a significant event that brings both challenges and rewards.

Am I a Carer

A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to family members and/or friends with a disability, mental illness, chronic health issue or an older person with care needs.

Impact of Caring

Anyone at any time can be a carer. Taking on a caring role is a significant event.

Plan Ahead

Most carers focus on the here and now of caring and it can be hard to find time to make emergency and long term plans.

Wellbeing Resources

Caring can be emotionally and physically demanding. Prioritising your wellbeing and gaining balance in your role as a carer is important. There are a number of great free resources available to support your health and wellbeing. Here are some we recommend:
