Carer Gateway is a national support service funded by the Australian Government. It provides free support for carers through a network of regional Carer Gateway service providers.
Wellways Australia is the chosen service provider of Carer Gateway services throughout Queensland and the New South Wales regions of South West Sydney and Nepean Blue Mountains.
If you support a family member or friend who has a disability, mental health condition, chronic health condition, terminal illness, or is frail aged you can access free supports via Carer Gateway.
You don't need to be a new carer to use Carer Gateway services – any carer can use the services at any time in their caring journey.
Many people don't see themselves as carers, they don't realise the support they provide is caring. Are you a carer?
