What is WISECARER
WISECARER is designed for unpaid carers who support people with mental health concerns that live in the Gold Coast.
WISECARER’s digital tool promotes early interventions by providing unpaid carers with accessible information, education, and direct links to supports and services.
Primary and Community Care Services have co-designed the WISECARER website in collaboration with various carer networks, individual carers and carer’s groups to ensure this digital tool has relevant information, education pathways to increase knowledge, and resources to reduce carer’s burnout and isolation.
Our Partners
Primary and Community Care Services has partnered with ASPIRE, Gold Coast University Hospital, Queensland Mental Health Commission, and Southern Cross University to enhance carer capability and support, helping consumers maintain their health and independence at home.
