Caring for someone else can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be tiring, demanding and sometimes lonely.

That’s why caring for carers matters too.

This National Carers Week, take a moment to check in with a carer in your life.

☕ Ask how they’re really going.
👂 Give them space to talk.
🤝 Offer a helping hand.
💜 Remind them that they don’t have to do everything alone.

There are also local services that can help carers connect with support.

NDCH’s Support for Carers Program is here to support carers in our community.

👉 Mind Australia — Loddon Mallee carer support

This week and beyond, let’s care for a carer and make carers visible. 💜

💜 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 | 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴

Every day, millions of Australians provide unpaid care for someone they love.

Across Australia:

👥 3 million people provide unpaid care
❤️ 1.2 million are primary carers
🧑‍🦽 391,300+ carers are under 25
⏰ 2.2 billion hours of unpaid care are provided every year

Behind every number is a person — a partner, parent, child, sibling, friend or neighbour who gives their time and energy to support someone else.

Carers make an enormous contribution to our communities, but their own needs can sometimes be overlooked.

If you’re a carer, support is available. You don’t have to work everything out on your own.

💜 Helpful carer resources:
👉 Carer Gateway — information, support and services for carers

👉 Carers Victoria — support, advice and advocacy for carers
