Carers NSW is the peak organisation for carers in NSW. We provide support and advice to carers through our range of specialised programs and services. We can also provide information about person centred approaches, individualised funding and other initiatives.
If you look after a family member or friend with a disability, mental illness, drug or alcohol dependency, chronic condition, terminal illness or who is frail, then you are a carer.
In the Tweed area, Carers NSW provides counselling to carers through the National Carer Counselling Program. This counselling can provide emotional support so you can talk thing over with someone who understands. The counsellor can provide support face to face, over the phone, individually or a group setting with other carers.
