Today, I would like to remind you that Carer’s Week will run from Sunday 13thOctober to Saturday 19th October for carers to get together and provide support to each other, while also spreading awareness about the work carers do in the community.
Carers are in integral part of Australia’s health system and the foundation of our aged, disability, palliative and community care systems.
They provide unpaid care and support to family members and friends who have a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness, an alcohol and other drug issue or who are frail aged.
So, show your support this week and take a break for carers by organising a morning tea, fundraiser, or workshop to raise awareness and discuss caring and carers in Australia.
Please visit the Carers Australia website for more details.
