About the program

Carer Gateway was first introduced in 2015 as a website and phone line to help carers find and access support to help them in their caring role. With the Australian Government's commitment to continue improving carer services, an extensive four-year consultation process with carers and the sector was undertaken.

This process found that the best way to support carers is to help them early in their caring role. Through a range of tailored supports and services, carers can be supported to manage their daily challenges, reduce stress, plan for the future and ultimately improve their wellbeing.
