Our theme, ‘Millions of Reasons to Care’, aims to broaden the awareness of the 2.65 million Australians caring for their family members and friends. Carers represent a diverse range of cultures, ages, experiences and responsibilities, but all of them balance of caring responsibilities with other responsibilities like work, study and their physical and mental health.
More than one in ten Australians are carers. They make an enormous contribution to our community as well as our national economy.
There are so many ways to take part in #NationalCarersWeek! Closer to the date, we will be providing resources you can download to tell your community why you care about carers and to celebrate carers in your community or workplace.
