National Carer’s Week is an opportunity to raise awareness of the efforts and commitments made by carer’s around the country. There are over 2.8 million family and friend carers in Australia providing 36 million hours of care and support every week to a family member or friend who has a disability, mental illness, drug and/or alcohol dependency, chronic condition, terminal illness or who is frail.

“The replacement value of that unpaid care is $1.1 billion per week.”

Make a difference this October by:

• Informing carers of your appreciation
• Organising a fundraiser
• Raising awareness on social media
• Volunteering to be a carer
