Carer Gateway

Meeting National Standards and Strategy What's this?

Summary

Carer Gateway is a website and phone line set up by the Australian Government to connect carers with essential information and support services.

Benefits for Volunteer Involving Organisations and Volunteer Management

Carer Gateway can be a valuable tool to identify individuals who have caring experience, potentially leading them to volunteer opportunities within your organisation.

Many volunteers may also be carers themselves. By understanding the resources available through Carer Gateway, volunteer managers can better support their volunteers' wellbeing.

Application

Volunteer Managers could direct carers that enquire about volunteering to Carer Gateway to explore support services that can help them manage their caring responsibilities alongside volunteering.

Include information about Carer Gateway in volunteer management training to equip staff with knowledge of resources available to support carer volunteers.
