🧾 Carers’ Rights: Know Your Right to Carer’s Leave
Under the Carer’s Leave Act 2023, eligible employees now have the right to take up to one week of unpaid leave each year to care for a dependant with a long-term care need, including family or close friends.
💼 This right applies from your first day in a job and can be used flexibly, in shorter blocks, helping you balance work and caring responsibilities without risking your job.
📣 If you need to take Carer’s Leave, talk to your employer as early as possible.
Your caring role matters. Your rights protect it. 💙
