Caring for someone with disability is rewarding, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Carer wellbeing is just as important as participant wellbeing.

Recognising Carer Stress

Carer stress may show up as fatigue, emotional overwhelm, or reduced personal time. Recognising these signs early helps prevent burnout.

Simple Ways to Protect Your Wellbeing

  • Take regular breaks where possible

  • Stay connected with friends, family or support groups

  • Ask for help when responsibilities feel overwhelming

Accessing Support in Melbourne
