On 10 December 2024 the Minister for Social Services (The Hon Amanda Rishworth MP) announced a new National Carer Strategy, delivering on a promise from 19 October 2023. For the first time in a decade the government has pledged, through this Strategy, to invest in and develop programs that make a real and positive change to the lives of carers. This Strategy replaces the 2011 National Carer Strategy and implementation plans, and provides a framework for coordination of carer policy across Commonwealth portfolios including aged care, disability, veterans’ affairs, and mental health. It was developed in consultation with carers across Australia to ensure it reflects the diversity of carers and the challenges they face.
