Partnership Prospectus 2018Together we are dedicated to making life better.

With one in every eight Australians caring for a family member or friend, Carers Queensland is committed to providing specialised carer, aged, and disability support services.

For 30 years, Carers Queensland has been working to advocate for equal rights, opportunities, and enhanced outcomes for families.

We work within and value our local community, responding to unmet need with care and respect, assisting those who are disconnected through high-quality personalised support.

Our objective is to ensure carers achieve their goals, enhance their relationships, and can move forward with a life based on their own decisions and choices.

We are a forward-thinking organisation, responding to the unique needs of carers and those they care for.

This year was especially remarkable, as we consolidated our services and expanded into new and exciting areas.

Our organisational footprint and growth

What we do

Through a person-centred approach, we are delivering meaningful outcomes across the community.

IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFEFor some, caring is a short-term commitment while for others, it is a role that literally lasts a lifetime.

While caring can be rewarding and bring about life-affirming experiences, without the right support it can have significant negative effect on a carer’s health, wellbeing, relationships, employment and social and financial inclusion.

Carers Queensland strives to enable, connect, and build carers' resilience to overcome the many hurdles that occur throughout the caring journey.

We provide a range of services including policy and research, carer support and advocacy, awareness campaigns, in addition to our unprecedented growth as Local Area Coordinators.

YOUR PARTNER IN THE COMMUNITYCarers Queensland NDIS Local Area Coordination Partners in the Community Program launched in eight regions, making us the NDIA's largest national partner.

We are working to ensure more people live fulfilling and connected lives.

A STORY FROM OUR CARER RETREATS"I found it to be a beautiful experience for myself and gained value listening to fellow carers’.

The pampering afternoon and sunset dinner was a gift I will treasure. Thank you Carers Queensland for taking care of me! I was overwhelmed and overtired; I wish I could stay two more days."

- Carer, North Queensland

Our goalsWe are working on key projects that make a real

difference to families, and provide value to our partners.

YOUNG CARER STORYMy mum was in a car accident and is paralysed from the waist down. She had me when she was in a wheelchair, so I’ve cared for mum my whole life.

It's isolating, it takes a lot of your time, and it’s really hard with school and growing up.

- Corby, Brisbane South

Our reachThrough strong branding and a strategic approach, we are providing

increased engagement and opportunities for our partners.
