Support Services

Caring for someone
We're here to
support you too

At TTHA, we understand that caring for someone you love can be both rewarding and challenging. Whether you are an older carer yourself or caring for a senior loved one, our Carer Support Services are designed to support your wellbeing and help you stay connected.

We offer one-to-one support, respite, practical and emotional support, small group activities and social outings, providing opportunities to take a break, meet others, enjoy new experiences and participate in activities that support your interests and wellbeing.

How we support and help you care

Carer support services can include:

  • Flexible respite care - in-home or community-based
  • Emergency respite - for a few hours, a day, or longer
  • Respite in a safe aged care setting - for peace of mind
  • Personal care support - for your loved one, while you take a break
  • Assistance in unexpected situations
  • Social outings and activities - for you and/or the person you care for
  • Counselling and emotional support – someone to talk to when things feel heavy
  • Wellness sessions – take time to rest and recharge with gentle self-care
  • Educational sessions and support groups – connect, learn and share with others who understand
  • Short breaks and holiday options – enjoy time away while we care for your loved one
  • Help navigating the aged care system – practical guidance to understand your options, available supports and where to start

Carer Events relax and connect with others
