EDuCARE Support Service, a unit of Hunter New England Area Health Service, welcomes all carers and health professionals to our website
EDuCARE consists of a team of health professionals who provide educational support to carers residing within the Hunter region. EDuCARE aims to improve the health and well being of all carers, regardless of their age. Carers may provide physical and/or emotional support to another person for a few hours a week, or all day every day and may or may not live with the person for whom they care.
