About The Carers Associations

Carers Associations are located in every State throughout Australia. The central role of the Carers Association is the collection and provision of information. They provide information to Carers to assist them in their caring role and to empower them in their dealings with service providers and health professionals. They provide information to service providers, health professionals and the Government about the needs and rights of Carers in order to effect changes in policy and service provision.

Carers Associations are there for everyone. They are there for Carers, young and old, from all cultural backgrounds. Family and friends are also encouraged to contact the Resource Centre, service providers working with Carers, and researchers involved in Carer issues and policy.

All centres throughout Australia are able to work together to provide Carers with a Nationally linked information base on respite services.

The Carer Respite Centre takes a holistic approach to the individual needs of the Carer and their family. The Carer and the coordinator design a 'care-plan' based on the individual needs of the Carer, so that service delivery can be tailored to meet the identified needs of the Carer. At this time the coordinator and Carer will determine the duration of assistance from the Carer Respite Centre.
