A carer can be anyone who selflessly provide unpaid care and support to their family members or friends facing various challenges such as disability, chronic or terminal illness, mental health issues, drug or alcohol dependency, or aging frailty.

The organisation firmly believes in inclusivity, welcoming all carers and the individuals they care for, regardless of age, background, ethnicity, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation. Our vision is to foster a community that recognizes and values carers as a significant asset, ensuring they have access to timely and appropriate services. To achieve this vision, Carers NT actively promotes awareness of carers among government funders and the wider community.

We strive to provide carers and their loved ones with a range of services, including respite care, counselling, volunteer support, peer support, advice and information, education, and advocacy. By providing these comprehensive services, Carers NT enables carers to nurture their own well-being, reducing the challenges they face and provide vital support to their families.
