This week, the department celebrated and raised awareness of carers for National Carers Week. Our Ability and Carers Network defined the week with our internal theme of ‘Diversity in Care.’ We were all encouraged to recognise the diverse backgrounds and experiences of carers, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by carers from different cultural, gender, and socio-economic backgrounds. Annabel Reid, CEO of Carers Australia, and Andrew Whitecross, Group Manager of Disability and Carer Programs at the Department of Social Services (DSS) joined us to discuss the theme and the importance of the week. Our conversation was led by First Assistant Secretary of Improving Student Outcomes, Nerida Hunter. With up to three young carers in every Australian classroom, supporting and recognising them is more important than ever. Listening to the voices of those carers, especially those who may not recognise themselves as a ‘carer’, is an impactful choice you can make this National Carers Week. Thank you to Annabel and Andrew for joining us to raise awareness for the carers around us! #NationalCarersWeek #NCW2024
