Supporting Carers in the Northern Territory – National Carers Week

At the Public Guardian and Trustee, we recognise the invaluable contributions of carers across the Northern Territory during National Carers Week. This week highlights the vital role over 3 million Australians play in supporting loved ones with disabilities, chronic conditions, mental health issues, or age-related challenges.

Carers come from all walks of life, providing unpaid support while balancing other responsibilities like work, study, and their own well-being. At PGT, we work closely with care organisations, and individuals and families affected by caregiving.

We stand with Carers Australia to raise awareness about the challenges carers face and advocate for better services and policies. This week, we celebrate carers in our community and encourage everyone to show appreciation or learn more about the services available to them.

If you're a carer or know someone who is, visit Carer Gateway for support services, including counselling, peer support, and resources to navigate caregiving.
