Carers ACT

Carers ACT is a non-for-profit organisation that supports unpaid family carers in our community. There are about 43,000 family carers in the ACT alone, or 2,3 Million across the nation. They are caring for a parent, a partner, a child or a friend, who has a long-term physical or mental illness, a disability or who is frail aged.

Caring often is a 24/7 job and can be very stressful and exhausting. Many carers are trying to cope on their own with no or little help.

We support...

Carers ACT supports family carers with a holistic range of services: from arranging respite, so the carer can take some time out for themselves, to professional counseling and social support and activities to meet with other carers. We have special programs and supports to offer to Young Carers and Mature Aged Carers, as well as Carers from culturally and linguistically diverse and indigenous backgrounds.

Carers ACT can make a real difference in carer's lives, alleviating the stress of their caring role and offering them support to cope better and feel less isolated.
