@amber22 is going to post a list of supports and government benefits you might be eligible for.  For example, Centrelink have a "Carer Allowance" of about $65/week which is not means tested but based on your caring role.  You will need your GP and any formal documents of the condition of the "care recipient" but once all the paperwork is done, it can be really helpful.
