What is Carer Gateway?

Carer Gateway is an Australian Government program offering a range of free supports and services tailored to the unique needs of unpaid carers.

This inclusive and accessible program ensures safety and support for anyone, regardless of age, ability, gender, culture and sexuality. Services are delivered in-person, online and over the phone.

In Victoria, Carer Gateway services are delivered by a consortium of seven health and social support providers, led by Merri Health, to provide comprehensive care and support across the state.
