National Carers' Week (Oct 12–18) started yesterday, and as we move midway through, let us pause and honour the extraordinary people behind the care.

We want to express our heartfelt appreciation to the carers who make a lasting impact every day. Whether you’re a parent, partner, friend, or support worker — your strength, patience and compassion make all the difference.

You turn challenges into hope, small moments into meaningful ones, and your care into connection. We see you, and we thank you. Your efforts create meaningful change and build a more inclusive world.

Today is October 10, World Mental Health Day 2025. We are encouraging everyone to connect with the communities that matter to you and with your federal MP to let them know that mental health matters to you.

Connecting with our communities—the people and places where we feel safe, seen and heard—can help us feel cared for and supported, which is good for our mental health.

At home, work, school, in the community or online, we encourage everyone to have conversations about mental health, reduce stigma, reach out for support – and connect with our communities.

To learn how you can show your support and help create a community where everyone can thrive, visit Mental Health Australia - https://www.mentalhealthaustralia.org.au/get-involved/2025-world-mental-health-day/
