CCLHD Carer Support Unit, Carer Retreat and Carer Lounge - Gosford Hospital

Service Description

The Carer Support Unit is committed to promoting all carers*, including young carers 25 years and under, as valued and respected partners in care. We achieve this by educating and supporting health staff to identify and consult with carers, and to recognise carer expertise. The Carer Support staff also run information and wellbeing workshops for carers; provide individual carers with information, support, debrief and referrals to relevant services and assist carers to navigate health systems. *a carer is an individual who provides unpaid care and support to family members and friends who have a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness, an alcohol or other drug issue or who are frail aged. A carer is not a paid worker.
