This week marks National Carers Week (12–18 October 2025), a time to stop and recognise the selfless work of the more than 750,000 unpaid carers across Victoria.
These are the people who support family, friends, and loved ones living with disability, health challenges, mental illness, or age-related conditions.
Anyone can become a carer, at any time.
National Carers Week is an opportunity to raise community awareness among all Australians about the diversity of carers and their caring roles.
National Carers Week is an initiative of Carers Australia, funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, and coordinated with the assistance and participation of the National Carer Network.
