Queensland Government support for carers resources
The Queensland Government have developed a range of resources to assist carers accessing support services, including services specific to groups such as parents and grandparents, older and younger carers, and carers from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.
Caring can be rewarding as well as being physically and emotionally demanding. From time to time, carers may need to take a break from their caring role.
Carers may also need help for a specific period. For example, if you are ill or recovering from an illness. These types of breaks are called carer ‘respite’.
Respite may be given informally by friends, family, neighbours or by formal respite services. These formal services provide a paid worker called a “support worker” to look after the person you usually care for to give you that break.
More information regarding eligibility, what services are available, costs are available on the Carer’s Queensland website.
