About The Opportunity
Coaching is a practical, non-therapeutic service aimed at guiding carers through conversations about change, helping them explore steps toward positive outcomes without providing counselling or crisis intervention. Carer coaching sessions focus on key topics relevant to the challenges of caregiving, offering information, practical tips, resources, reflection activities, and real-life stories from Australian carers. Topics include health and wellbeing, the caring journey, support systems, inclusion and advocacy, work and study, finances, daily life, and emotional wellbeing. Facilitated sessions align with, but are not tied to, self-guided online coaching, which can reinforce or extend discussions.
