It’s National Carers Week! From 12–18 October, we celebrate the 3 million Australians who provide unpaid care and support to family and friends. These incredible individuals are the backbone of our communities—offering love, time, and energy to those who need it most.
This year, EPC is proud to support the theme “Care for a Carer”. Let’s take time to show appreciation through small but powerful actions:

💬 Check in regularly
☕ Offer a break
🙌 Acknowledge and appreciate
🤝 Initiate support

We also honoured carers at our annual fundraiser Pound the Pavement 4 EPC, with all proceeds going to our Care for the Carers Appeal. You can support our carers too by donating at epc.grassrootz.com/pound-the-pavement-4-epc-2025.

📚 EPC also offers resources to support carers—visit www.epcvic.org.au/carers to learn more.

We are incredibly grateful to our generous donor who helped us purchase a new Syringe Driver (a small, portable, battery-operated pump that delivers continuous medication under the skin).

This essential equipment allows our clients to remain at home, receiving care in comfort and dignity.

Our nurses and clients are already seeing the impact of your generosity.
