Are you a Carer?
The Support for Carers Program provides respite, other services and supports for all Victorian carers (including Young carers - carers under 25 years), who are caring for someone who:
- Is older with care needs
- Has a mental illness
- Has a chronic illness
- Has a disability
- Has dementia (including younger-onset dementia)
The program focuses on person-centered care and supports through:
- one-off or short-term support for carers including goods and equipment, that can add to other services or fill service gaps
- support to people in a care relationship, and at the same time and at the same place if people want to be together while having the support service
- supporting people's wellbeing - quality of life, physical and mental wellbeing, social activity and or social connections. For example, carers can get respite with social, health and other support.
