Caring for someone with a life-limiting illness is a very important role that can be challenging. Caring whilst living in a regional, rural or remote area can bring further challenges. It can be more difficult to find and navigate health care and services and you are often managing both local services and metropolitan services. CarerHelp now has new pages dedicated to all Australians who are ‘Caring in the Country’. The new pages include factsheets about travelling for healthcare, finding local services, and using your community network. CarerHelp has also put together some videos of rural carers who have shared their lived experience and health providers discussing key issues and providing useful advice.
