Carer resources for community groups

Caring for someone can be life changing and it’s important to know there’s help available.

We know community groups play an important role providing services and support to carers and their families.

Watch this video to learn more about working while getting Carer Payment.

We’ve put together an eKit with resources for you to help carers who want to either:

• claim a payment from us
• understand how to keep getting their payment.

By using the eKit, you agree to share its content exactly as it’s provided. Please don’t change the designs or content.
