National Carers Week is about recognising and celebrating the amazing contribution that Australia's 2.7 million Unpaid Carers make to our nation.
National Carers Week 2018 is celebrated throughout Australia from 14 – 20 October.
Anyone at any time can become a carer and National Carers Week is an opportunity to raise community awareness among all Australians about the diversity of carers and their caring roles.
Carers make an enormous contribution to our communities as well as our national economy. Should all carers decide to stop performing their caring role, it would cost the country $60.3 billion per year to replace those supports – that’s over $1 billion per week.
National Carers Week provides you with a chance to show your appreciation and learn about carers and caring in Australia.
You don't need to be a carer to be part of National Carers Week, see how you can get involved today.
