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: You should look into the National Respite for Carers Program. There are many options available for you to assist your mother in her care. A good place to start is the Commonwealth Respite and Carelink Centre 1800 052 222 (free call) 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.
