This National Carers Week (12-18 October), we're taking a moment to recognise the incredible dedication of Australia's 3 million unpaid carers, including the many families caring for elderly loved ones.

Caring for an ageing parent, partner, or friend is a role filled with love, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding.

To every carer out there - we see you. 🫶And we're here to support you and your loved ones on this journey.

What a fabulous day at the Aged & Disability Expo in Sydney today!

Our Care Advisors Robyn and Teneil had such a great time presenting, and connecting with everyone who stopped by to learn how we help older Australians get more choice, more control and more care hours from their existing home care funding.

Thanks to all the wonderful people who came to chat with us today!

If you missed us at the expo or want to learn more, get in touch - we'd love to help you too!

💙 Dementia Action Week (15–21 Sept) is a time to recognise the real-life impact of dementia, and the importance of not facing it alone.

To support you on the journey, we’ve gathered helpful information and resources, whether you're living with dementia, caring for someone, or simply wanting to learn more:
