Carers Programs

This program is funded by NSW Department of Human Services, Ageing Disability and Home Care (ADHC) through the Home and Community Care (HACC) program,  with the support of Warringah, Manly and Pittwater Councils and local businesses.

What We Do

Our Carer’s program provides support, education, information, referral and assistance to Carers, who reside in Warringah, Manly or Pittwater, empowering them to manage the demands of their caring situation and to maintain their own health and well being.

Who is Eligible?

Anyone who is responsible for a member of their family, or a friend, who is frail aged, has dementia or memory loss, has a physical, intellectual or mental health disability or an illness requiring assistance with daily living.

• Courses, Educational Sessions and Workshops

Guest Speakers

Our groups often invite guest speakers with expertise in their particular field to provide information on and access to appropriate services.

What does it cost?

Attendance is free although we always appreciate a small gold coin donation where possible. A small fee is required for the Training course, but we understand this may not be always possible, so come and talk to us – we may be able to help.

We also help with referral to other appropriate community support services
