For carers and family

Common question


Question:	I am currently looking after my mother and am finding it a real handful on top of a full working week. Will I ever get a break!?
Answer:	There are many options available for you to assist your mother in her care. A good place to start is to call 1800 200 422 during business hours or, for emergency respite support outside standard business hours, call 1800 059 059 (free call). There are respite services especially for carers combining employment and caring.
