Five ways we can help
Information & Resources
A living list of what's actually available to carers in the Macedon Ranges and Sunbury: Carer Allowance, Carer Gateway, Mental Health and Wellbeing Connect, home and respite support, young carer bursaries, and local contacts who already know the system.
Referral Pathways
No referral forms, no formal interviews. Self-refer, or ask someone else to point us your way — a GP, a school, a friend. We'll also connect you to the right external service, from Centrelink through to young-carer specialists like Little Dreamers and Satellite Foundation.
Advocacy & Policy Work
Individually, we'll advocate alongside you where it's needed. More broadly, Power to Care contributes to the systems carers rely on — from sitting on hospital advisory committees to speaking directly at forums and in policy submissions.
1:1 Support & Navigation
A chat over the kitchen table, a coffee shop, or however feels comfortable. Free, currently no waitlist. As we grow, so does our capacity to help more carers this way.
