What We Do

We work with organisations to provide better information and supports to Family Carers. We provide them with opportunities to collaborate on initiatives including National Carers Week, a multi-agency and multi-disciplinary Family Carer Research Group, and joint policy submissions.
We act as a distribution channel for information on Family Carer issues.
We actively encourage collaboration in all our projects. We provide cohesion to those organisations working to support Family Carers.
We commission relevant research that supports focused and quality interventions in the lives of Family Carers.
We coordinate National Carers Week annually in June
