NSW National Carers Week

National Carers Week starts this Sunday and Carers NSW has a range of events happening. Together we celebrate the amazing contributions that unpaid carers make to the lives of the loved ones in their care, and recognise the diverse range of cultures, ages, experiences, and responsibilities they represent.

This year's theme is 'Millions of Reasons to Care', and anyone can become a carer, at anytime. The recent Carer Wellbeing Survey found that carers who had good access to support had healthy levels of wellbeing, some ways you can help a carer are:

Check-in with them regularly

Offer them a break (a coffee date or lunch outing)

Acknowledge and appreciate them

Initiate support

Encourage self-care
