Commonwealth Carer Resource Centres

The National Respite for Carers Program no longer provides information through the Commonwealth Carer Resource Centres. Instead, a range of more specialised services are provided by different agencies.

î

Your local Carelink Centre provides information about community aged care, disability and other support services in your local area. Dial 1800 052 222 (free call from local phones, mobile calls at mobile rates) to be automatically directed to the organisation that provides services for your area.

î

The Carer Advisory Line provides a central point of contact for carers seeking assistance with specialised information, emotional support, advocacy and/or guided referrals, including access to formal counselling. Dial 1800 242 636 from anywhere within Victoria (free call from local phones, mobile calls at mobile rates)

Carers Victoria's Information Service can help you to find out about the information resources that we publish or can make available.
