I have been messaged that I was nominated for this award on the Sunshine Coast. Thank you Peta Simpson for this honour. My reward is helping so many in the dementia world. It is an honour and a blessing to be able to meet many wonderful folk on this journey and their families and staff. They are the unsung heroes who inspire and motivate me to do what we do".

Carers : Family or unpaid carers deserve recognition and be praised for their role for caring for their loved ones.

Today marks the beginning of National Carers Week (12-18 October), a time to recognise and celebrate the outstanding contribution carers make to our nation.

The theme for this year’s campaign is “You are one, know one or will be one” which highlights a powerful truth: caring is a journey that most of us will take at some stage in our lives.

Carers are everyday people who provide unpaid care and support to a loved one. 1 in 8 Australians is a carer , which represents 11.9 % of Australia’s population.

Behind every statistic is a carer. They can be family members, friends, or neighbours.

It's possible that someone in your family or workplace is already a carer. It's possible you see yourself as a parent, child, family member, friend, or partner, but you could be one of Australia’s 3 million unpaid carers.

Care is everywhere and this week provides an opportunity for people who have a caring responsibility to identify themselves as carers and access the supports and services they need.

Get involved- this Carers Week, show carers you care, extend a helping hand or simply recognise the enormous contribution of carers.

Carers Australia joined the roundtable on workforce participation, hosted yesterday by Minister Tanya Plibersek.

This is part of a series of economic reform roundtables led by Minister Plibersek and Mark Butler MP, and a valuable opportunity to keep the needs of Australia’s 3 million carers on the national agenda.

We’re advocating for stronger support to help carers participate in the workforce.
