Carer support may include information, emotional support, skills sessions, peer groups, practical assistance or help navigating services. What is available depends on the organisation and the caregiver's circumstances; asking for support is not a commitment to a particular care arrangement.
The directory listings below are a starting point for enquiries, not endorsements or a guarantee of availability. Confirm current services, eligibility, fees and application details directly with each provider.
Service guide
Explore common approaches, what to expect, time commitments, and questions to ask a provider.
Find providers
A worker may explain service options, application steps or where to seek further information.
Depending on the programme, caregivers may access individual conversations, skills sessions or help with day-to-day planning.
Some services bring caregivers together for mutual support; ask about group purpose, confidentiality and accessibility.
A guide to the process
There is no standard duration for individual carer-support contacts. SWD's Designated Hotline for Carer Support (182 183) operates 24 hours a day; that describes when the hotline is available, not a counselling session length. Ask the service about follow-up and urgent support.
SWD's 182 183 hotline provides free information, emotional support, needs assessment and referral to carers, including carers of persons with disabilities. It offers a 24-hour phone service and WhatsApp text support for carers with hearing or speech impairments; other carer schemes have separate criteria.
Carer support is directed to the caregiver and family context; it is different from direct therapy for the person receiving care, though both may be coordinated.
