It’s less than a week until our charity screening of the West End production of The Importance of Being Earnest.

All profits from this event will directly benefit unpaid carers - and you’ll get to have fun at the same time!

Get in quick for tickets and bring your friends!!!

London's West End comes to Sunbury! Thanks to Reading Cinemas and Sharmill Films, you are invited to an afternoon of fun and frivolity for purpose.

Power to Care is not just people who understand the limitations of the current support systems professionally, we’ve been impacted personally aswell. We get it. We are working behind the scenes to advocate for more meaningful, relevant and accessible support for carers so no carer needs to reach crisis before being eligible for help. We will update you soon on some of our initiatives.

Love this analysis!!! Give us credit for our role and that we do get something out of it, even though there are lots of sacrifices. The most damage is done by the systems that are meant to support us because they don’t understand our lived experience.

I was about ten when my brother Paul became very ill with three brain tumours.

Power to Care sees this and knows this (we live this ourselves) and we want you to not feel like you are losing power over the direction of your life.

If we are not open and honest in having our say, we can’t have power over our lives. Please reach out if you’d like some help with this.

You are invited to participate in a survey to help inform the Australian Government on the development of actions under the National Carer Final Strategy action plan 2024-2027. They have developed a survey to capture the voices of unpaid carers.

This survey has a focus on:
• how to improve counselling and mental health support
• exploring options to improve access to respite for unpaid carers
• ways to appropriately support unpaid carers from First Nations, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD), and LGBTQIA+ communities, carers with disability, carers of veterans, and young carers.

Insights from the survey will inform the development of improved support options. These will be co-designed with key stakeholders and unpaid carers, including those from six priority groups: First Nations carers, CALD carers, LGBTQIA+ carers, carers with disability, carers of veterans, and young carers.

The survey is open until 19 November 2025 11.59pm. Have your say at https://nousgroupau.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b9tDorFvDVaBleS
