National Carers Week | 11-17 October
This week, we're recognising the incredible contribution of Australia's carers.
More than one in nine Australians provide unpaid care and support to a family member, friend, or loved one. National Carers Week is a chance to celebrate their dedication, raise awareness of the challenges they may face, and remind them that their role is valued.
This year's theme is "Care for a Carer: Making Carers Visible."
A simple gesture can make a big difference:
- Check in regularly
- Offer a helping hand or a break
- Say thank you
- Connect them with support if needed
- Encourage self-care
To all carers in our community, thank you for everything you do. đź’š
