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 deliver a number of carer specific projects; namely an Online Family Carer Support Project and a Back to Work Project.
We commission relevant research that supports focused and quality interventions in the lives of Family Carers.
