This week (11β17 October) is National Carers Week, an annual event recognising Australia's 3 million+ unpaid carers β the family members and friends who support someone living with disability, mental illness, chronic illness, or age-related frailty. This year's theme is 'Care for a carer: making carers visible'. If you're a carer, we see the work you do, often quietly and without recognition. Over this week, we'll be sharing ways to recognise and support the carers in our community.
