💙 This National Carers Week (11–17 October), we recognise and celebrate the incredible people who give their time, energy and love to care for others.

To all the unpaid carers across Australia, your compassion, dedication and the difference you make every day matter more than words can say.

You deserve to feel seen, valued and supported, not just this week, but every day. 💕

Let’s continue to show our appreciation and make sure no carer feels alone.

Care for a carer. Make carers visible. 💚

National Carers Week starts next week!

Join us in recognising the more than 3 million Australians who provide unpaid care to a family member or friend.

Show your support by downloading and sharing our free National Carers Week resources and help spread an important message:

"I support Australia’s 3 million unpaid carers."

Together, we can help ensure carers feel seen, valued and recognised.

40 years of KAMS!

On Friday 9 October, we came together in Broome to celebrate four decades of Aboriginal leadership, community control, and working together for Kimberley Aboriginal people.

From our beginnings as a cooperative between two Aboriginal health services in 1986, KAMS has grown alongside our Member Services and communities.

We remain an organisation of Aboriginal people, for Aboriginal people, controlled by Aboriginal people.

Our vision remains: “All Kimberley Aboriginal people are empowered to be strong, healthy and connected through Aboriginal community-controlled services”.

Thank you to our founders, Elders, Aboriginal Health Workers, past and present directors and staff, Member Services, and partners who have built and sustained KAMS. We also remember those who are no longer with us, whose contributions remain part of our story.

Together, we celebrate 40 years and look ahead to the next chapter.

Dementia can touch many families and communities.

If you have concerns about your own health, or about someone you care for who may be experiencing changes that could be related to dementia, reach out to your local health service for advice, assessment and testing.
