The Carer Gateway national advertising campaign aims to increase awareness of Carer Gateway services and supports, and encourage unpaid carers to access support through the phone line and website. Carer Gateway is a free support program for Australia’s 2.65 million unpaid carers, many of whom do not know that dedicated support is available to help them in their caring role.
The Carer Gateway campaign materials on this page are available to share with friends, family and your stakeholder networks.

So it's funny, the one thing you probably won't do is ask for help. If you look after a loved one, Carer Gateway is a free support service especially for you.

Do you take care of and support someone close to you?
1 in 9 people in Australia are unpaid carers.
But many people don’t see themselves as carers.
They’re just supporting someone close to them.
Every caring situation is different.
A carer can be of any age and caring for anyone.
They look after someone with disability, a medical condition, a mental health condition or who is frail due to age and help them in many different ways.
They may help them for a few hours a week or 24 hours a day.
If this sounds familiar, you may be an unpaid carer.
Carer Gateway was designed by carers for carers.
We provide a range of free support and local services to give carers the help they need.
Carer Gateway is here to support you.

Looking after someone can be tough. It’s OK to ask for support.
Carers often find that they worry about the future, don’t have enough time for themselves or their social life or have a hard time coping with their responsibilities.
But many carers don’t ask for help or wait until there’s an emergency.
It’s never too early or too late to get help and make changes that will support your health and wellbeing.
We can help you get the support you need.
Carer Gateway was designed by carers for carers.
We put the care and wellbeing of carers first.
Carer Gateway has free support packages and we can help you understand what support is available and right for you.
We can also help you connect with other carers.
You can share your experiences and see that there are other people going through the same thing.
Let us help.
Call Carer Gateway on 1800 422 737 or go to CarerGateway.gov.au.
The campaign’s approach was informed by extensive market research undertaken across Australia. You can view the research summary here.
