National Carer's Week with Right at Home
It’s National Carer’s Week here in Australia with the theme ‘Millions of Reasons to Care’! This national campaign aims to broaden the awareness of the three million Australians caring for their family members and friends.
NSW Carers reports that caring will affect every Australian employee at some stage in their career. An incredible one in nine Australians is a carer. Carers represent a diverse range of cultures, ages, experiences, and responsibilities, but all of them balance caring responsibilities with others like work, study, and physical and mental health.
Family caregivers or informal caregivers aren’t paid. They care for their loved ones because they can or because they must.
Where can carers get support?
Carer Gateway provides information and advice on the supports available to family caregivers across Australia and has a great range of online resources to help promote carer wellbeing.
