Wellways is committed to reconciliation, lived experience and inclusivity. We strongly encourage and warmly welcome people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, people with a lived experience of mental health and disability and people who identify as LGBTIQA+ to apply. Even if you only meet some of the criteria, we'd love to hear from you.
Wellways Australia is the first point of contact for all Australian Government Carer Gateway funded services across NSW, aiming to help Carers access practical information and advice and connect with services in their local area.
Carer supports and services will be delivered using a network of local Carer Gateway regional service providers Carers and those who provide a caring role to someone in their life who has a disability, mental health issue, chronic health condition, terminal illness or are frail-aged.
The Carer Gateway Mobile Carer Support role has two key functions:
Responsibilities include the coordination and administration of financial and business functions required to support the referral and delivery of services to carers; and to provide Carers with an opportunity to share experiences and learn from each other in a peer group setting.
The Peer Support Program draws on three approaches: peer support principals, the CHIME framework for personal recovery (Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning and Empowerment) and elements of reflective practice.
The Mobile Carer Support role regularly rotates between carers homes (or other settings where carers meet), community based and health services settings, working directly with hospital and other health services staff (particularly RAS, ACAT, Discharge Planning and Social Work Staff) and acting as a direct referral and warm handover point for carers.
Wellways connects people, strengthens families, and transforms communities for individuals of all ages experiencing disabilities or challenges to their social and emotional wellbeing. A leading for purpose mental health and disability support organisation operating nationally, our services span mental health, disability and community care and reach more than 7000 people each year!
Working with a diverse range of people, Wellways creates an inclusive community where everyone can imagine and achieve their hopes and potential.
