    Help & Support

    Find Support

    If you live in the Western Metropolitan Region of Melbourne (the local government areas of Brimbank, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Melbourne, Melton, Moonee Valley or Wyndham), call 1800 514 845 during business hours to talk to a Carers Victoria support advisor about some common experiences for young carers and, what supports are available for them.

    Our Carer Support Advisors can help arrange counselling, find someone to talk to about problems you may have, and get help and support.

    The service can also offer suggestions on how your school can support and assist you.

    If you live outside of this region, phone the Carer Gateway on 1800 422 737 or visit www.carergateway.gov.au
