Carer Wellness at Home

We recognise that carers can often struggle to find time to access support for themselves. With this in mind we now provide an in-home program that will bring our service and support to you.

The Carers WA Carer Wellness at Home Program provides in-home support specifically to carers. We can provide you with:

• Emotional support
• Information about services available to support you
• Help with completing forms (eg. ACROD, Taxi Voucher Scheme)
• Referral to relevant local carer support services
• The opportunity to access Carer Wellbeing events and training

For carers to access the Carer Wellness at Home Program, the person they care for must be:

• 65 years or over (for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders 50 years or over)
• Receiving Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP)
• Not receiving a Home Care Package (carer is eligible for this program if the care recipient has been approved for a package or on the national queue, as long as they are not actually receiving the package)
