The Working Carers Gateway has a wide range of information that will help you negotiate your carer responsibilities with your employer.

See our Fact Sheets Your Rights at Work and Working Carers and Anti-Discrimination Laws. On the Gateway website, also look at the For Employers section and the Fact Sheet on Carers and Work.

The NSW Office of Industrial Relations has good information in various languages at www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/rights/entitlements/personal.html
