Caring for someone?
You matter too…
Looking after the people we love plays a huge part in making the world a better place. But many carers simply see themselves as a partner, parent or friend doing what needs to be done.
At LINK Community & Transport, we understand that caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also be demanding. Finding time for yourself, staying connected with friends and community, or simply enjoying a day out can sometimes be difficult.
We understand the carer experience. Many of our volunteers have been, or are, carers themselves, so they understand the challenges and rewards of caring for someone and the importance of having opportunities to connect with others and enjoy time for yourself.
LINK can support carers with community transport and a range of social outings, giving you opportunities to stay connected, explore new places and enjoy some time for yourself.
Social outings, connections and respite
Sometimes you just need a chance to get out and enjoy yourself.
LINK runs a series of programs and outings that you can access to recharge your batteries. Opportunities for you to have some fun for yourself, and regain your connections with the world.
Our outings take you to interesting destinations and events, with opportunities for sightseeing, cultural experiences, special interests, history, food, entertainment and more. We offer both short and long outings, with a variety of experiences to suit different interests.
We are here to help you… ask us how.

Take some time for yourself, meet people who share similar experiences and enjoy a day away from your usual routine..
We also schedule outings specifically for carers, with a particular focus on regional carers.
We work with the groups we are supporting to choose a destination that will be enjoyable and meaningful for the group.
These outings are about more than visiting somewhere new. They provide an opportunity to share an experience and spend time with other carers who understand what it’s like to care for someone.
If you’re part of a regional carer group and would like to explore an outing with LINK, please get in touch.
Support that understands
We can’t replace you, but we can give you some time off.
Every caring situation is different. We know that sometimes what makes the biggest difference is having the opportunity to get out, connect with others and do something for yourself.
