National Carers Week is about recognising and celebrating the outstanding contribution informal carers make to our nation.
There are over 2.7 million carers in Australia providing care and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, mental illness, alcohol or drug dependency, long term health condition or who is frail due to age.
Anyone at any time can become a carer. National Carers Week is an opportunity to educate and raise awareness among all Australians about the diversity of carers and their caring roles.
Further Carers Week activities can be found on the National Carers Week website.
