Peak body and service provider for unpaid carers in the ACT

At Carers ACT we are deeply passionate about impacting the lives of carers. We are great at partnering with carers through their journey, seeing and hearing carers where no-one else does, supporting and advocating for better outcomes and being there during the hard times.

Carers ACT also plays a vital role in creating a more inclusive, compassionate and kind community through our advocacy work and driving partnerships with Government and other stakeholders.

Caring is not something anyone plans to do. It can be unexpected, hard work and overwhelming.

It is important to remember that no one has to care alone and there is support to help you manage your caring role.

We understand that your circumstances and needs may change over time, and have a flexible and responsive range of services to help lighten the load.  Carers ACT can help you get through short, unexpected difficult periods, or we can be an ongoing partner for to support your longer-term caring role and wellbeing.

Reach out to learn about accessing social support, wellbeing education, flexible respite, counselling and coaching, along with more tangible support services to help you with day-to day workloads.

Even if you are doing ok right now,  you can stay in touch with what is happening for carers via our newsletters and social media updates, and know that you can talk to us if your needs change in the future.

Carers ACT is here to help all carers at all stages of their caring journey.
