The grant program aligns available funding to support implementation of the NSW Carers Strategy: Caring in New South Wales 2020-2030 (the Strategy). The NSW Government’s vision for the Strategy is that we are an inclusive and supportive community that understands that caring for and supporting each other are fundamental parts of life. The Strategy aims to improve carers’ access to services and supports; ensure that carers are better respected and empowered; have improved economic opportunities and better health and wellbeing.
The objective of the grant program is to fund initiatives that develop, pilot and implement ongoing training and education programs for service providers to better identify and reach unidentified carers and provide them with information about how to get support.
Service providers and professionals - particularly GPs, psychiatrists, hospitals, neurologists, medical and mental health staff, allied health workers, dentists, teachers and principals, and government agency staff that carers come into contact with.
