Did you know that 1 in 8 Victorians are carers? If you provide unpaid assistance or support to a family member, friend or someone else in your community who is living with disability, mental illness, health challenges or age-related conditions, you are a carer too.
Unpaid carers in our community do important work, but it can be time consuming. And exhausting.
Fortunately, organisations like Carers Victoria are there to help you.
Carers Victoria can give you quick, accurate information about how to get what you, or the people you care for, need. They can give you advice on how to manage your caring role. And they can link you to available government funded respite and programs for carers like you.

Do you help look after an aging parent, your partner, a child with disability, a friend or neighbour who needs assistance with everyday tasks? Then you are a carer.
Many carers don't think of themselves in this way. The support you provide makes a huge difference and it's important to remember that looking after yourself matters too.
Carers Victoria Statewide Advisory Line can connect you with information, support and services to help you on your caring role, wherever you are in Victoria and whoever you care for.
