Carers Australia Supporting Family Carers

Carers provide unpaid care and support to family members and friends who have a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness or who are frail.

More than one in eight Australians provide care of this kind.

Carers Australia and the network of carers associations in each state and territory's purpose is to improve the lives of carers. Together we provide important services like counselling, advice, advocacy, education and training. We also promote the recognition of carers to governments, businesses and the wider public.
