Is there a careers counselor I can access?

Hi Jenni, 

I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time balancing between home and work.

I just want to clarify if you are experiencing any stroke symptoms or if the difficulties you are facing is an impact of a stroke that you have had.

I would like to inform you that most of the career counselors in Australia operate privately, however there may be an option to access Centerlink if you have a permanent disability.  

You might like to contact Job access on 1800 464 800, to get some advice about employment of people with disability. 

I would also encourage you to read through our return to work factsheet. Here is the link to it: https://strokefoundation.org.au/About-Stroke/Help-after-stroke/Stroke-resources-and-fact-sheets/Return-to-work-after-stroke-fact-sheet  

I hope these resources are useful. If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Strokeline on 1800 787 653 or strokeline@strokefoundation.org.au. Our health professionals are here to help. 

Best wishes

Shraeya
