09.01.2022 Supporting local carers Margaret Thompson knows first hand how important accessing support can be for a carer. Caring for a loved one with dementia has been one of the most challenging times of my life and I feel so fortunate to live in an area where support is available.... Last year Margaret contacted Wellways Carer Gateway for some extra help in her caring role. It took one phone call to Wellways Carer Gateway for a plan to be put in place. I was able to access emergency respite so that I could take a well needed break with the reassurance of knowing that my loved one would be cared for. Carer Gateway gives carers like Margaret access to a range of free local services and supports to help them in their caring role. Jacqueline Murray who is the Community Engagement Coordinator with Wellways Carer Gateway said that carers don’t always realise they can access free, local services and supports to help them support their loved ones. Support does exist and is only a phone call away, she said. If you provide support for a loved one you can register for Carer Gateway by calling 1800 422 737 or by visiting carergateway.gov.au. You could also join Jacqueline for a Carer Gateway information session and morning tea at the Glass House Mountains Neighbourhood Centre, 1 Ryan Street, Glass House Mountains, on Tuesday 23 March at 10am. Bookings are essential. To RSVP email [email protected] or call 5438 7000. Morning tea will be provided for a gold coin donation.
