📣 National Carers Week, Sunday 12 to Saturday 18 October 2025, is a special time to recognise and celebrate the incredible contribution of carers across Australia.

This year’s theme, ‘You are one, know one, or will be one,’ reminds us that caring touches everyone at some stage in life. It celebrates the more than 3 million Australians who provide unpaid care and support to someone living with disability, mental illness, chronic condition, addiction, or who is frail aged.

Next week, numerous events and activities will be held across the country to acknowledge the vital role of carers within communities and raise awareness about carer experiences.
