National Carers Week

Over three-quarters of a million Victorians are unpaid carers.

They’re everyday people who provide unpaid care and support to family members or friends with a disability, mental illness, substance addiction, chronic health issue or an older person with care needs. They’re parents, children, partners, other relatives and friends who assist with a variety of daily activities.

There’s at least a 1 in 10 chance that you are, know or will be a carer.

Join Carers Victoria this National Carers Week 12-18 October 2025 to recognise , celebrate and care for these incredible people!
