Carer Gateway campaign
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.
