As a teacher, wellbeing professional, support staff member or school leader, you may be one of the first people to notice when a student is struggling to balance their education with their caring role.

Did you know many Young Carers don’t identify themselves as Carers, even when they’re providing daily support to a family member or friend living with disability, mental illness, or with a chronic health condition?

Join our free online workshop for education professionals across South Australia and learn how to create a more Carer Aware education environment.

The workshop will cover:

✅ Recognise and identify Young Carers in your education setting
✅ Understand the impact caring responsibilities can have on learning, attendance and wellbeing
✅ Support positive outcomes through early identification and engagement
✅ Connect Young Carers with free services, supports and referral pathways
✅ Help students achieve their education goals while managing their caring responsibilities

Join this tailored webinar for education staff across South Australia and learn how to build a more Carer Aware education environment.

Today we attended an event at Parliament House for World Eating Disorders Action Day, hosted by EDFA Eating Disorders Families Australia (EDFA).

The event brought together advocates, Carers, and community leaders to raise awareness of eating disorders and the impact they have on individuals, families, and Carers.

Thank you to EDFA for hosting this important event and for continuing to champion awareness and support for those impacted by eating disorders.

Last week Carers SA joined Carers and advocacy organisations from across Australia at Parliament House in Canberra to ensure Carers voices were heard where decisions are made.

Carers shared their experiences directly with MPs and Senators, highlighting the realities of balancing paid work with caring responsibilities and the impact policy decisions have on everyday life.
From managing finances and family commitments to maintaining employment while caring for someone, Carers spoke about both the challenges they face and the supports that make a real difference.

Thank you to the Carers who generously shared their lived experience, particularly Jade from Carers SA, and helped bring the voices of Carers into these important national conversations.
