Carers SA
Online
Almost 1 in 8 South Australians is a carer. Carers change lives. To honour their work, which is often unpaid and informal, the South Australian Government introduced the South Australian Carers Recognition Act 2005. This Act acknowledges the valuable role of carers in the community and guides government agencies in their interactions with carers. DHS works in collaboration with Carers SA, the state’s leading provider for carer services. Carers SA acts as both a representative organisation and a service provider, offering a range of services to families in metropolitan, rural and remote locations.
What does a carer do?
Carers provide unpaid ongoing support to family or friends with disability, chronic illness or age-related frailty.
Carers can be partners, parents, children, friends, neighbours or colleagues who provide assistance with personal care, lifting, mobility, administering medication, banking, shopping or housework. They come from all walks of life, all cultures and all age groups.
Caring is a role that can be both rewarding but also costly in terms of life opportunities, financial security and health.
