More than one in ten members of the NSW community are carers — dedicated citizens making an unsung yet indispensable contribution to our social fabric.
While caring for those you know and love is immensely rewarding, it can also be a frustrating and isolated journey.
That is why carers need care too. They need to know they are not alone. That their service is valued by the community. And that practical help is available to make their journey that little bit easier.
The NSW Carers Action Plan outlines the NSW Government’s five-year commitment to do these things.
The plan includes significant new support for those living with mental illness and physical disabilities, as well as expanding measures to support carers such as the NSW Carers Program.
DADHC is a partner agency for the Carers Action Plan.
