Today marks the beginning of National Carers Week (12-18 October), a time to recognise and celebrate the outstanding contribution carers make to our nation.
The theme for this year’s campaign is “You are one, know one or will be one” which highlights a powerful truth: caring is a journey that most of us will take at some stage in our lives.
Carers are everyday people who provide unpaid care and support to a loved one. 1 in 8 Australians is a carer , which represents 11.9 % of Australia’s population.
Behind every statistic is a carer. They can be family members, friends, or neighbours.
It's possible that someone in your family or workplace is already a carer. It's possible you see yourself as a parent, child, family member, friend, or partner, but you could be one of Australia’s 3 million unpaid carers.
Care is everywhere and this week provides an opportunity for people who have a caring responsibility to identify themselves as carers and access the supports and services they need.
Get involved- this Carers Week, show carers you care, extend a helping hand or simply recognise the enormous contribution of carers.
