Extended Families’ Carer’s Rebalance Wellbeing and Respite program

If you are a carer for a young person with a disability, you can apply to access Extended Families Carer’s Rebalance funding to meet specific health and wellbeing needs you can’t currently access. 

These services are designed to be flexible and can be anything you identify a need for that meets health, respite, work, education, or wellbeing needs.

Eligibility 

  • Anyone who provides informal care to a young person (18 years and under) with a disability or specialised needs. This might include parents, siblings or grandparents, among others, and
  • They are experiencing stress, burnout, or financial struggles that are preventing them from getting their needs met in areas of health, respite, work, education or personal wellbeing.
