1 in 6 podcast by Care2Serve

Last Updated: June 13, 2026
Did you know that one in six Tasmanians is a carer? A carer is someone who gives unpaid support to a family member, friend or neighbour with disability or illness, who is frail aged, or has alcohol or other drug dependence. Their stories can be challenging and heartbreaking but also inspiring and heart-warming. The 1 in 6 podcast series is presented by Care2Serve, part of the Carers Tasmania Group. Care2Serve is the Tasmanian provider of Carer Gateway, an Australian Government program, offering free services and support for family and friend carers. If you care for a family member or friend, Carer Gateway can help. Carer Gateway can support you to navigate the maze of supports, connect with other carers, talk to someone confidentially, get help with your caring role, support with your goals and provide residential or emergency respite. All for free. Call 1800 422 737 (and press 1) or go to - www.carergateway.gov.auFind out more about Care2Serve here - https://care2serve.com.au/Find o
