Support for carers

If you are responsible for caring for someone with a disability, aging loved one, or someone who has become ill, there are various forms of assistance and support available to you.

Council's carer support groups

Pathways For Carers

Pathways for Carers offers those caring for older people, or people with a disability or mental illness an opportunity to share walks together and to learn more about news, services and supports. Stay after the walk for a free coffee at Bark and Silk.

Anyone who is a carer of someone with a disability, mental health illness or older person is welcome to join us. We have a different guest walker attend each walk who talks about the services and programs their organisation offers carers and the people they care for. The walks are educational as well as offering the chance for some exercise.

The walks are suitable for all fitness levels and no bookings are required.
