 As part of the 2015-2016 Federal Budget, the Australian Government announced the development of an Integrated Plan for Carer Support Services (the Plan), commencing with the launch of a national phone service and website for all carers: the Carer Gateway.

Following extensive consultation and development, a range of new services will be made available via the Carer Gateway: online, over the phone and in person.

• Online information, peer support and coaching materials are already available at www.carergateway.gov.au
