Carer Gateway: A Great Government Resource

As part of our credo to help you manage your lifestyle and your work as a provider of care, we like to share helpful resources. You’re likely already aware of the Australian Government’s website called Carer Gateway, but have you taken the time to peruse it?

Well, we’re encouraging you to jump in and have a good look around…

One of the key features of Carer Gateway is its online portal, which offers a range of resources and tools for support workers. The portal provides access to training and education programs, online forums for support workers to connect with each other, and information on best practices and guidelines for caring for clients.

The portal also includes a directory of local support services and programs, which can help support workers find additional support for their clients. This feature is particularly helpful for those working in remote or rural areas, where access to services may be limited.

In addition to the online portal, Carer Gateway also offers a free 1800 support line for carers and support workers. This service provides confidential support and advice from trained professionals, who can help support workers navigate the challenges of their job and provide guidance on how to best care for their clients.

As we do, Carer Gateway recognises that support workers are essential to the wellbeing of many Australians and provides resources to help support workers take care of their own mental and emotional health. This includes access to online self-care resources, such as mindfulness exercises and stress management techniques.

Overall, Carer Gateway is an invaluable resource for support workers, providing them with the tools, information, and support they need to provide the best possible care to their clients. As a company that is dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of individuals with disabilities, Able Digital Wellness is proud to endorse Carer Gateway and encourage all support workers to take advantage of this valuable resource.
