Spreading the word at the Care and Ageing Well Expo

“ We wish we knew about this service earlier ” is a familiar phrase from carers upon learning about the benefits of Carer Gateway ’ s free services .
Over two days , we joined more than 90 aged care service providers in sharing information about a wide range of community services available to people aged 55 +.
Carers enjoyed a free cuppa on us to take time out for themselves .
As a relatively new initiative , events such as the Carer and Wellbeing Expo are important opportunities for us to promote the service and hear directly from carers about the issues impacting their lives .
