Carers Australia

Carers Australia is the national peak body representing the interests of Australia's 2.65 million unpaid carers. The organization functions as a primary advocate to the Federal Government, influencing policy and legislation to improve the social and economic well-being of carers. It works closely with a network of state and territory-based member organizations to provide a unified voice for those caring for people with disabilities, mental health conditions, or chronic illnesses. Key initiatives include the management of national awareness campaigns and the provision of research and policy advice to enhance the national care infrastructure. Additionally, the organization supports the delivery of the Carer Gateway, a national service providing practical information and support for carers.
