Family Carers

Family carers are individuals who provide ongoing support and assistance to a family member or loved one who has a health condition, disability, or age-related needs. This care can include helping with daily activities like bathing, dressing, cooking, or managing medications. Family carers often balance their caring responsibilities with other commitments and may do so informally, without formal training or pay. Their dedication is vital in maintaining the well-being, independence, and quality of life of those they support, and they often need access to resources, support, and respite services to help manage the demands of caregiving.
