Support for returning to work

Caregivers frequently step away from their careers to provide dedicated care for a friend or family member. Transitioning back into the workforce after time away as a carer can bring a mix of excitement and apprehension.   

Carers Victoria has created a set of workbooks to support the process of returning to work. The workbooks are designed to be filled out by you and are ready to print.

Caring for someone?
You’re not alone.

If you support someone with their daily life, you’re a carer – and we’re here for you. Our Statewide Carer Advisory Service is dedicated to supporting unpaid carers.

No matter your situation, get expert guidance, practical advice, and the support you need to care well – and stay well.

Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm.
