It’s Carers Week 2026 – “Care for a carer: Making carers visible”
National Carers Week is a time to recognise, celebrate and raise awareness of the more than 3 million Australians who provide unpaid care to a family member or friend.
What can you do to support carers:
💜 Ask them about their caring role
💜 Ask them how you can help and encourage them to accept help
💜 Encourage them to chat about their experience if that’s helpful to them
💜 Help them identify peer support groups which can provide social connections, opportunities to talk to people who understand their caring role and provide ideas and knowledge
This year we are encouraging random acts of kindness for carers, aiming to raise awareness to celebrate friend and family carers and foster a more supportive community for those who provide care.
