Tailored support packages are designed to help you with the specific needs of your caring role. They can assist you to balance your responsibilities with your own wellbeing. The right support can enable you to continue providing care for your loved ones.
Every caring situation is unique, and what works for one person may not suit another. Our tailored support packages might include:
- Services or equipment to help with your education – such as tutoring, educational supplies, or training courses.
- Planned respite – where a service provider cares for your loved one while you take a break.
- Cooking and cleaning services – to free up more of your time.
- Assistance with shopping – to lighten your daily load.
- Transport – to help you get to medical appointments or do your grocery shopping.
Tailored support is designed to help you, as a carer, balance your responsibilities while prioritising your own wellbeing, ensuring you can continue to provide care and support to your loved ones.
Every caring situation is unique, and what works for one person may not suit another.
