About the Carers Hub

The Carers Hub has been established by Living & Learning Nillumbik to provide local unpaid carers with support in connecting with carer-specific resources and programs. 

Am I a carer?

A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to family members and/or friends with a disability, mental illness, chronic health issue or an older person with care needs. They are parents, children, partners, other relatives and friends who assist with a variety of personal care, health care, transport, administrative support, cognitive emotional tasks, household chores and other activities.

Carers can be of any age, from any culture or country, and any socio-economic background. If you receive Carer Payment and/or Carer's Allowance this is still classed as unpaid.
