This National Carers Week, we celebrate the 3+ million family and friend cares in providing unpaid care and support in Australia. They’re the unsung heroes behind our aged care, disability, palliative and community care systems.
The 2025 National Carers Week theme is: ‘You are one, know one, or will be one.’
It highlights that at some point in every Australian’s life, we will either know, be, or need a carer. Caring touches all of us — now or in the future.
But while carers give so much, the latest Carer Wellbeing Survey shows carers falling behind on key wellbeing measures like loneliness, mental health and financial stress.
So what can we do to support them better? Let’s recognise them. Support them. And make caring visible.
