Many people don’t see themselves as carers, they see themselves as parents, partners, children, family or friends. Being a carer for a person living with ME/CFS is a fulfilling yet challenging experience. A diagnosis of ME/CFS can raise many questions, some of which do not have simple answers. There is often a lot of information to absorb, and advice available from many different sources, meaning at times it can be overwhelming.
This webpage and the linked factsheets have been created to support you in your caring journey. If you have questions or require additional support, please contact our InfoLine team on 1800 865 321 or send us a message here.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country and their connections to land, sea and community and pay our respect to Elders past and present, noting their continuing contributions, struggles, and achievements. We recognise that Aboriginal self-determination is a human right and honour the resilience and determination of many generations of Aboriginal people who have fought for this right to be upheld. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We understand sovereignty has never been ceded.
