The Australian Government is inviting applications in an open process to apply to deliver services under the Integrated Carer Support Services from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2024.

• needs assessment and planning;

• in-person and phone-based coaching, counselling and in person peer support;

• information and advice;

• targeted financial support packages with a focus on supporting employment, education, respite access and transport;

• access to emergency crisis support; and

• assistance with navigating relevant, local services available to carers through federal, state and local government and non-government providers, including the National Disability Insurance Scheme, My Aged Care and palliative care.
