New in-person coaching service for carers

Published 3rd August 2021

If you provide care and support to a family member or friend, you will soon be able to access a new in-person coaching service through Carer Gateway.
 
Launching at the end of July, this new service gives carers the opportunity to work one-on-one with a coach who supports you towards improving your overall wellbeing. You can work out what you want to change in your life and how to make it happen.
 
Carers who were part of a pilot program for the service reported that the in-person coaching helped with their sense of empowerment, and taught them new strategies to put into place to support their own wellbeing in their caring role.
 
Carers can find out more about the coaching service and other support services by calling Carer Gateway on 1800 422 737, Monday-Friday 8am-5pm and selecting option 1 to speak with their local service provider, or visit the Carer Gateway website.
