💙 National Carers Week 2026 💙
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.
This year’s theme, “Care for a carer: Making carers visible,” shines a light on the incredible contribution of unpaid carers and reminds us all of the importance of recognising, supporting and caring for the carers in our families, workplaces and communities.
Carers play such an important role, often giving their time, energy and love quietly in the background. National Carers Week is an opportunity to say thank you and to help make carers more visible.
Anyone can become a carer, at any time.
Let’s take the time to acknowledge and support the carers around us. 💙
