Am I a Carer? (Cairns)

If you support a family member or friend with daily tasks, emotional care or health needs, you may be a carer.

Are you supporting a family member or friend with a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, or age-related needs? You might be a carer- even if you don’t see yourself that way.

Join us for an informative and welcoming session designed to help you explore what it means to be a carer, recognise the vital role you play and discover the free supports available through Carer Gateway.

Whether you're new to caring or have been providing support for years, this session will help you connect with services in the Cairns area, local resources and others who understand your journey.

If you're already a registered with Carer Gateway, please consider reaching out to family, friends and neighbours who may also be provising support for someone else and let them know about the event or come together for support.

We also have a morning session called "Release and Recharge" at 10am with Laughter Yoga and mindfulness practices to help give you a break and soothe the nervous system. Open to all carers with the suppoort from our friendly Hub Navigator to help those new to Carer Gateway to register on the day!
