Welcome To Carer Support Thursday 7th December 2006 What is Carer Support?Carer Support is a strategy of NSW Health to improve the responsiveness of the local health service to the needs of Carers, and improve access to the health service for carers living on the Central Coast. Individual carers may contact the service to provide information or suggestions for the further development of Northern Sydney Central Coast Health services to better meet their needs as a carer. The service assists carers with systemic change rather than providing one to one assistance and support. Who are Carers? A Carer is an unpaid family member, friend or neighbour who supports those who are frail aged, disabled or chronically ill. Carers may help by assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs), being a key person for transport, social support, medical appointment support etc, or providing emotional support and assisting with decision making.
