Carers Tasmania has over 25 years of experience in the carer sector, and a dedicated team highly experienced in service provision, policy development, research and advocacy. This experience translates into extensive up-to-date knowledge that is available to you through a series of resources and information.
We have supported carers from 5 years old to those in their 90s. Carers have come from all walks of life, all parts of Tasmania, and all sorts of caring situations. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself in need, we have the experience, skills, knowledge and passion to support you.
Anyone can become a carer at any time. Perhaps your caring role gradually increases over time or perhaps suddenly. We are here for you.
