Self-guided Coaching
The online Carer Gateway Self-guided Coaching Service provides you with the opportunity to explore how your caring role affects different areas of your life.
Designed in partnership with carers, each coaching session will get you thinking about how you are going, how you’d like things to be and how you might be able to take steps towards making that happen. Each session includes information, practical tips, resources, reflection activities and stories from Australian carers.
The online coaching sessions can be accessed anywhere, anytime via your home computer, mobile or tablet.

In-person Coaching
The Carer Gateway offers you the opportunity to work one on one with a coach to identify, explore and move towards your own personal goals.
As carers, we often have to set aside our own needs because the needs of another must take priority. In-person Coaching is about taking time out to think about your own wellbeing and consider how you can find space in your life to balance your needs and the needs of the people you care for.
In conversation with your coach, you can reflect on how things are going for you and whether there are areas in your life where you might like to make some changes. Together, you can explore possible steps that move you in the direction of your goals.
To find out more about how you can access this free service in your local area, call the Carer Gateway on 1800 422 737 - select option 1.
Self-guided Coaching
Choose from eight specialised coaching sessions.
Each coaching session focuses on a specific topic that’s relevant to the complex life of a carer. Each session offers you the chance to reflect on your experiences of the topic and consider the experiences of other carers too.
Sessions aim to help you explore and understand your success, along with the challenges and barriers you might be facing, and are designed to assist you to move forward in areas where you might feel stuck.
You can explore the topics that are relevant to you, at a time that suits you. There’s no need to complete all eight sessions and you can access the sessions in any order you like. You can also save your progress during a session, allowing you to return later to pick up where you left off.
