Support Carers

Carers Week in Australia will be celebrated on Sunday 11 to Saturday 17 October. In recognition of the many carers in our parishes, the Bishops invite you to celebrate and acknowledge carers.
Carers Australia define carers as people who provide unpaid care and support to family members and friends who have a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness, an alcohol orother drug issue or who are frail aged. This includes the 272,000 young people up to the age of 25 who are carers. (Carers Australia: https://www.carersaustralia.com.au/)
