Carers are people who provide unpaid care and support to family members and friends who have a disability, mental health condition, chronic condition, terminal illness, an alcohol or other drug issue or who are frail aged – anyone at any time can become a carer.
National Carers Week is an opportunity to raise community awareness among all Australians about the diversity of carers and their caring roles.

Lisa and Jess Origliasso, aka The Veronicas, care for their mum, Colleen, and you can find out more via their new video!
Share your story
If you’re a carer, we want to hear your caring story – the more we share, the louder our voice will be! If you’re not a carer, we still want to hear why you think carers are so important to our communities.
