Crisis Accommodation

As we know, life can be unpredictable. In those turbulent times in our lives, it’s easy to fall into a downward spiral and become vulnerable to homelessness.

This is where Carry On steps in to provide a stable foundation for veterans to assess the situation and determine the best course of action for support, which may involve connecting with other support agencies to provide mental and wellbeing support, assisting with financial pressures, or helping find permanent accommodation.

There are many situations where a veteran and/or their immediate family members may be:

Homeless or at immediate risk of homelessness.
Needing accommodation for while the Veteran is hospitalised, and the family cannot afford accommodation to be near or visit them. Particularly applicable for regional families
Recovering from Pre-op or post-op where the benefit is their access to medical providers.
Relocating and need accommodation during the gap between their permanent housing.
In the process of Assessment of claims with DVA/other agencies where the veteran would otherwise need to pay for accommodation but is not homeless.
Needing Accommodation for the Veteran to provide access to his family and may have supervised visitation orders or are separated by distance
Attending a Court for legal matters of any kind, where the veteran cannot afford suitable accommodation.

Feel free to enquire if you feel you don’t fall into the categories above. Carry On can determine the most effective way to provide support based on individual circumstances.

Tee Off to End Veteran Homelessness
ANZAC biscuits - a symbol of unity and remembrance.

Regardless of how they come out of the oven, ANZAC biscuits have become a heartwarming shared tradition in what is often

Cooking for One

A lot of enjoyment comes from eating food with others and so when it comes to cooking for one, many of us can lose motivation to make the same effort with our meals. Now it isn’t just the social aspect of food that makes cooking for one challenging, it is also getting the right amount of ingredients. Many ingredients are packaged in amounts suitable for more than one person (think size of trays of meat), and if foods do come in smaller portions they are usually more expensive.

Financial hardship

In times of financial hardship, we can provide immediate relief. From paying household bills, to arranging housing, booking and paying for household repairs; coordinating donations of clothing, furniture, appliances and electrical equipment to covering rehabilitation, medical and travel expenses; or covering funeral expenses.

The crucial role of positive male role models in our lives

With yet another Father’s Day upon us, many of us will celebrate our fathers or mourn the ones we do not. A father-type figure, however, is just one persona we look up to, and as we look back throughout history, we see the value that significant male role models of all kinds have played in the shaping of humanity and who we are as people.
