You carry the knowledge they rely on. This Handbook makes sure it doesn’t disappear if something happens to you.

You know which medication cannot be missed, what helps them settle, who to call when something changes, the routines that keep the day from unravelling, and the little things that make them feel known.

Most of that knowledge is not written down. It lives in your head, your phone, scraps of paper and conversations no one else was part of. There is no simple handover.

If something happened to you, someone else would have to step in while trying to learn it all at once — not just appointments and medications, but how to care for someone who may be frightened, confused, unwell or unable to explain what they need.

The Carers Handbook Kit is a practical, printed end-of-life planning and care continuity system that helps document your own affairs, alongside the care information someone would need to continue supporting the person who depends on you.

Caring for my mum through dementia meant remembering the details that helped her feel settled — appointments, medications, familiar routines, favourite foods, stories and music. I never imagined I would not be there to care for her. She is no longer with us, but I am grateful I could be her safe place: someone she knew, trusted and relied on.

A Multi-Purpose System

The Carers Kit was designed for end-of-life planning — but it has a practical dual purpose for carers right now, while you’re still here.

For Support Workers and Paid Carers

Part 3 — the Caregiving Duties section — can be used to brief a support worker or paid carer on everything they need to know about your loved one. With additional pages available through the Customer Resources Portal, documentation can grow as care needs change. Knowing an external carer has the full picture gives you confidence that the standard of care you provide is maintained even when you’re not there.

Respite Care

Part 3 can be sectioned off and provided to a respite centre or family member stepping in while you take a break. It gives them everything they need to continue care seamlessly — routines, preferences, medications, personal needs — so you can rest knowing nothing important has been left to guesswork.

What’s Included in Your Carers Handbook Kit?

The Carers Handbook Kit includes a professionally printed handbook, practical support tools and ongoing resources designed to help you stay organised. Each handbook also includes 20 document sleeves for storing important records, supporting documents and additional information.

Each Handbook Kit - A Complete EcoSystem

Inside Your Carers Handbook

The Carers Handbook brings together everything needed to finalise your affairs and continue care across 5 tabbed sections:

  • 1. Upon My Passing – Everything the executor of your Will or the family member handling your affairs will need — from funeral wishes and financial accounts through to the personal details that only you knew about your own life.

  • 2. Household Affairs – A complete record of how your household runs — bills, utilities, online accounts, service providers and everything in between. The practical details that are easy to overlook until they urgently need to be found.

  • 3. Caregiving Duties – The heart of this Handbook. A comprehensive record of everything involved in caring for your loved one — medication schedules, daily routines, dietary needs, behavioural considerations, provider contacts and the personal details that make the difference between adequate care and the standard you’ve always provided.

  • 4. Appendix – A summary of your important scanned, copied or printed documents — stored together in the back of your Handbook for easy access when it matters most.
  • 5. Legal Documents – A dedicated section to house your Will, Advance Health Directive, Enduring Power of Attorney and any other legal documents relevant to your end-of-life planning — all in one place

Frequently Asked Questions

The Carers Handbook is designed for people who provide care or support to a family member, partner, friend or dependant and want to ensure important information, instructions and care arrangements are organised in one place.

The handbook includes sections for personal information, medical and care-related details, household affairs, key contacts, legal document references, financial information and practical instructions that may assist others involved in providing care.

The handbook helps document important information about the person you care for, making it easier for family members, substitute carers or support services to understand routines, preferences, contacts and important arrangements if they need to step in.

No. While it supports end-of-life planning, many carers also use the handbook to organise information for ongoing care needs, medical events, hospitalisations and other situations where important information may need to be shared quickly.

Yes. The dedicated Caregiving Duties section is designed to support care continuity by allowing important routines, instructions and responsibilities to be shared with respite carers, support workers or family members when needed, without providing access to the entire handbook.

The Carers Handbook Kit includes space for your own personal affairs planning and information relating to one care recipient. If you care for additional people, you can add a Care Recipient Module for each additional person, helping you keep care information, routines, preferences and handover details organised separately.
