Carers WA and GWHCC partner to provide a local presence for Carer Gateway. The Goldfields Womens Health Care Centre (GWHCC) is thrilled to
be partnering with Carers WA, Carer Gateway’s lead service provider in WA, to support the local delivery of Carer Gateway services in the
Goldfields region. Carer Gateway is a federal government initiative providing a mix of free online, telephone and in-person supports,
services and advice for family carers in Australia. These services have been specifically designed and tested by carers to help reduce
stress and build resilience in the caring role. National Carers Week, 10th-16th October, provides an opportunity to recognise, celebrate and
raise awareness of the 2.65 million unpaid carers in Australia, and thank them for the unwavering care and support they provide to their
loved ones. Carers are an integral part of Australia’s health system and are the foundation of our aged, disability, palliative and
community care systems. GWHCC CEO Gloria Moyle who was a long-time carer of her loved ones, is very pleased to be able to provide a local
contact for Carer Gateway, with the support of Carers WA. She says “Carers in regional WA are already disadvantaged by having limited access
to vital services and are often forced to travel hundreds of kilometres to utilise what our city counterparts often take for granted. This
adds another later to the already overwhelmed carer, who is then expected to navigate a complicated system to get the assistance they
deserve”. The Carers WA Community Engagement team will be joining the GWHCC at this year’s Lorna Mitchell Spring Festival on Sunday 10th
October and are already on their way up the pipeline to promote their services to carers in the Goldfields area. For any further information
please contact Gloria Moyle (CEO – GWHCC) on 0407 711 445 or Brody MacLeod (Partnerships and Engagement Officer – Carers WA) 0479 112 210.

two amazing grandchildren!! I have gained a lot of experience from being a high needs carer for 20 years, this is what originally compelled
me to start my educational journey. I have worked in aged care and the AOD sector. With each step I have realised how people are in charge
of their own healing journey and I want to be supportive of that. I have worked with people from many different cultural and social backgrounds and believe everyone should have access to professional and quality support.Some skills that have helped in my line of work is
being non-judgemental and being able to connect on different levels. I am empathetic and genuinely care for peoples well being. I am
currently studying to become a psychologist.
