If you’re finding it hard to cope, it’s also important for you to find the support that you need.

A good place to start may be the following organisations and resources:

• Information on local carer support, disability and community services – Commonwealth Respite and Carelink Centres (ph. 1800 052 222)
• Links to carers organisations all over Australia – Carers Australia
• ‘Guide for carers: Caring for others, caring for yourself‘ – a beyondblue resource
