Who are the members of our research group? Over the next few weeks, we will introduce you to the team working hard to improve support provided to Australia's family and friend carers. First up, we are introducing the leader of our group Dr Rebekah Laidsaar-Powell. Rebekah has been conducting research into the needs and experiences of families of people with chronic illness for more than 15 years. She is the founding chair of a national Cancer Carers special interest group and has dedicated her career to improving the way we recognise and support carers.
