This National Carers Week, we recognise and celebrate the more than 3 million Australians who provide care to family members, friends and loved ones.

At Lifestart, we see the incredible difference carers make every day. Through their dedication, advocacy and support, they help individuals and families thrive and reach their full potential.

This year's theme, 'Care for a carer: making carers visible', is a reminder to acknowledge and value the vital role carers play in our communities.

To all carers: thank you for everything you do.

Protecting children is everyone’s business. This week, Lifestart acknowledges National Child Protection Week 2026. This year’s theme ‘every conversation matters, shifting conversation to action’ asks us to reflect on the meaningful change that can occur when our conversations with children and young people lead to tangible, practical actions.

At Lifestart, we believe in the importance of building communities in which every child can thrive with real safety, care and protection. By coming together and amplifying the voices of children and young people, we can strengthen our communities and ensure that everyone can reach their full potential.
