CareLinkGC
Our Vision
Finding the right support when you are struggling can be a confusing and often overwhelming experience. People often report that they are given the run around from one service provider to the next as they do not know what organisation provides which service on the Gold Coast. Even the names of these service providers can often add to the confusion. People become frustrated and give up hope.
CareLinkGC is a free website service that helps you find the relevant information about support services on the Gold Coast easily and in a way that is simple to understand. We are committed to making finding help effortless at a time when you need it most.
Contact CareLinkGC
Feel free to email us if you know of any support services that CareLinkGC should add to our support services guide.
If you would like us to send you business cards and brochures, please email us your details.
Help CareLinkGC reach more people for support.
If you believe that this service can help others please donate. Your support will enable CareLinkGC to continue to grow. With additional funds we will be able to enhance our internet footprint so that anyone who searches for help online will find our page and the supports listed on it. Our next project is to make short videos about the services, who they are and what they do so that people can make informed decisions about what service is best for them. Hopefully being able to see what a service is like will make people less fearful to reach for support. As we grow we would also like to include more support services for men, youth support services, multicultural support services and parenting support services.
