Today in Australia, 12% of the population are unpaid carers.

These wonderful people are helping their family members and loved ones to live independently under a range of circumstances.

Carers are a large, and often unsung, part of the Australian healthcare landscape and play a valuable and central role in the lives of those who are ageing or living with a disability.

Many carers find themselves in a role that they weren’t trained to do. In addition, carers often don’t have the help or resources they need, which is where Roaming Healthcare steps in.

If you’re looking after a family member or a loved one, there are a lot of online resources that provide extra support, respite and counselling, and we encourage you to use them.

Some of these include Carer Gateway and the National Carer Counselling Hotline.

When hands-on help is needed, the Roaming Healthcare Service Provider directory can connect you directly with the professional support you need.

From specialist nursing care to meal prep, and in-home physiotherapy to transport, the key to finding the right professional is to be clear on what you require and communicate well.

Be clear with your expectations, don’t shy away from the requirements of your end client, and consider factors like personality, language and cultural nuances. This is the best way to find the perfect fit.

When you’re ready to get started on your search and engagement, simply click here to access the directory, search the type of service you’re seeking (such as in-home chiropractor) or your postcode, and follow the steps.

Once you have a set of results, review the Service Provider profiles, and get in touch directly to arrange a booking to discuss your needs.

Clear communication is now key for finding the right connection and getting your Service Provider in place!

Roaming Healthcare is here to help you find the connections you need so you have the professional and expert assistance when you need it most. Click here to search the directory and start the journey.
