Caregiver Services

Courses

• There are about 40 Caregiver Training Providers. Kindly refer to the AIC, Caregiver Training Courses e-Calendar for providers and schedule.

   

Caregiver training grant

• The Caregivers Training Grant is a $200 annual subsidy that lets caregivers attend approved courses to better care for their loved ones. This $200 subsidy is provided for each care recipient every financial year (from April to March the following year). Therefore, if multiple caregivers of the same care recipient wish to attend the training, the $200 would need to be shared amongst the family members.
