If you work in community, aged care, health, mental health or disability sectors then chances are, you come into contact with carers on a daily basis. Carers are there at every turn providing support for their loved ones, advocating on their behalf and making important decisions about their ongoing needs. Even if you don’t work in the community sector, with more than 2.65 million carers in Australia, and an estimated 320,00 in Western Australia, chances are you probably know a carer.
