Carer Support | Wyndham City

As a carer of an older person, a person with a disability or a person with a mental illness, there are a number of Government and non-Government funded programs and support services available to you. These programs can be highly beneficial both in supporting you with your basic day to day needs and can in turn help you in maintaining your own health and wellbeing.

Wyndham City supports community members to attend “The Carer Support Group” which meets on the third Tuesday of every month from 1 - 3pm at IPC Health, 117 - 129 Waringa Crescent, Hoppers Crossing 3029.

Carer Card

The Carer Card Program is a collaboration between the government, businesses and the community that recognises the work Carers provide. This program has a wide range of discounts and benefits on offer from businesses, Local Government and community organisations.

There are a number of resources to connect you to local and national support networks including:

Acknowledgement of Traditional Custodians

Wyndham City Council recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first Peoples of Australia. We acknowledge the Bunurong and Wadawurrung Peoples as Traditional Owners of the lands on which Wyndham City operates. The Wadawurrung and Bunurong Peoples have and always will belong to the Werribee Yalook (river), creeks, stars, hills and red clay of this Country. We pay respect to their Ancestors and Elders who always have, and always will, care for Country and community today and for future generations.
