When someone is caring for a family member or friend living with additional care needs, there may be signs that they need support too. Carers WA’s resources can be used as a guide to having a conversation about what your family member/friend needs.
A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to family members and friends who have disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness, an alcohol or other drug issue, or who are frail aged.
Our services include the provision of specialist information and advice, resources, carer support through counselling, education / training, social support and carer advocacy and representation.

Carers WA acknowledges the Wadjuk Noongar Nation’s lands, water, customs, and culture of which the Carers WA Head Office is located. Carers WA recognises our services reach beyond the Perth (Boorloo) region, and so we also acknowledge the cultural diversity of First Nations Peoples across our state and throughout Australia.
