Carer Gateway

Carer Wellbeing Survey

Carers Australia and the University of Canberra are undertaking a national online survey of carers’ wellbeing and use of support services again in 2023, on behalf of the Department of Social Services.

Taking part will help us better understand how many people are providing different forms of care across Australia, and better understand the wellbeing and needs of carers.

Carer Gateway campaign

The Carer Gateway national advertising campaign aims to increase awareness of Carer Gateway services and supports, and encourage unpaid carers to access support through the phone line and website. Carer Gateway is a free support program for Australia’s 2.65 million unpaid carers, many of whom do not know that dedicated support is available to help them in their caring role.
