Carers are usually family members who provide care and assistance to others, including children and adults with a disability and frail, older people.
They play a crucial role in enhancing the health and well being of others.
Carers can receive support from a variety of sources, including family, friends, non-government agencies and government departments. View a list of related links.
Services
Services are available specifically for carers, such as respite care, as well as for older people and people with a disability themselves, such as personal care and day programs, that can also benefit carers.
DADHC directly provides services through Home Care NSW and through DADHC Disability Services. It also funds a range of services through the Home and Community Care Program and Disability Services Program.
