Carers Victoria sector impact for aged care providers

As part of your job role, do you engage with unpaid carers that support a family member or friend?

Carers Victoria provides support to organisations and staff working under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). With significant aged care reform, it is important to understand the role of people who provide informal support to clients in your program. The focus is on understanding unpaid carers in our community, exploring their issues and experience and avenues for support services.

For direct support please email our Sector Engagement team.
