Carers provide unpaid care and support to family members and friends who have a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness or who are frail.
There is a Carers Association in each state and territory that can provide families and their carers with information. They can also make referrals to community services that will be able to support carers in their caring role. Carers Associations provide counselling services and programs for carers.
