a Male Carer

Carer Support offers specific support to men who are in a Caring role. The Male Carers Programme offers activities to bring Male Carers together for some fun and relaxation in an easy-going environment. They have a great time at the footy, fishing or on short getaways, while regular lunches provide the chance to chat to other men who also provide care. Many men find it helpful to spend time with people who understand their lifestyle without needing to explain.

 If you are carrying the caring load yourself or sharing the load with a partner, you can register with Carer Support and access our Male Carers Programme. Call 8379 5777 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
