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.
The Australian Government committed to 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.
