Are You a Family Carer?

Day-to-day, are you helping a family member or friend?

Do they have disability, mental ill health, chronic or life limiting condition, alcohol or other drug dependence, or are they frail and aged?

Do you regularly do their shopping, and housework or help them take their medication, or get to hospital appointments and more?

If this sounds like you, you are a carer and Carers Tasmania is here for YOU.

  • Someone who is
    an Older Person
