Got a question about their services, getting involved with Carers NT or supporting their efforts to help the thousands of Northern Territory carers?...
Carers NT is the voice that represents the needs and interests of carers in the Northern Territory.They work to achieve an improved quality of life for family carers in the NT.
Established in 1992, Carers NT is a non-profit, community based organisation and registered charity dedicated to improving the lives of the estimated 30,000 family carers living in the Northern Territory.Part of the National Network of Carers Associations, they are recognised by both Local and Federal governments as the voice of family carers.
Operating from offices in Darwin, Katherine, Alice Springs and Ramingining, their role is to work in active partnership with carers, persons with care and support needs, health professionals, service providers, government and the wider community to achieve an improved quality of life for carers. But the birth of a child with a disability, a car accident, a fall at work, the diagnosis of a terminal illness or the increasing frailty of age can result in anyone becoming a caregiver or care recipient at any time.
