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.

CARERS CAN BE ANYONE:
  • Partners
  • Parents
  •  Friends
  • Sisters
  • Brothers
  • Neighbours
  • Children of any age

 

Do you provide practical and/or emotional support to another person experiencing:

  • A chronic medical condition
  • A drug and/or alcohol related condition
  • A person who is frail or aged
  • A disability
  • Mental health related issues

If you answered yes to one of the above, then click on the links provided on this website.

EDuCARE provides carer education programs and workshops throughout the year and cover a variety of topics including stress management, practical skills for carers, community resources, legal and financial issues and emotional aspects of caring. Respite care is available to those in need. We are a non profit organisation. We offer our programs at no cost to all carers, however a minimal fee is charged for one day workshops (to cover catering costs). View the carer education calendar

EDuCARE also provides support to Young Carers within the Hunter. Current strategies include Young Carer forums, facilitating Young Carer Camps, one day workshops and working in consultation with Department of Education. (View the Young Carer Page)
