In LGBTQIA+ communities, where family support isn’t always available, people often care for partners, exes, housemates, or friends. That was the case for David, who has been caring for his friend Barry since 2021, finding support through Carer Gateway when he needed it most.

Holstep Health and FamilyCare "Helping families find solutions" are proud to share David's story as part of The Shepparton Advisor’s special feature on Goulburn Valley Pride Shepparton.

To find out more about the free services and supports available, visit carergateway.gov.au or call 1800 422 737 (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm).
