Support for carers

If you look after someone who needs your help to live their day-to-day life then you are a carer. There is a range of support available for carers including:

  • carers assessment
  • support for carers needing a break
  • financial support
  • support for young carers
  • emergency planning

Our directory has further support available if you are a carer or are looking for care for someone else.

Young carers

If you help to look after a member of your family, who has a physical or mental illness, takes drugs or alcohol or has a disability, you are a Young Carer.
