Carer Support Service (CSS) was originally established in 1996 to provide assistance to carers in the Sutherland Shire. Since then our services have expanded into South East Sydney Local Health District, which includes Sutherland Shire, St George area and Eastern Suburbs. We also have a Resilient Carer Program and Outreach Service operating in the Illawarra. To help them in their caring role, the CSS organises support groups and educational programs for carers and provides information to groups and individuals about respite and other services available.
