National Carers Week is from 12 to 18 October. It’s a time to recognise, support, and raise awareness of their work.
We are very passionate about carers at The Australian Women’s Weekly. This year’s theme, “You are, know, or will be one,” resonates particularly with us. Some of our team are carers, have been carers, or have witnessed carers doing selfless acts for others.
At The Weekly, we believe in lifting each other up – especially those who tirelessly lift us up every day. That’s why we are standing behind the ‘Cost of Caring’ campaign by Are Media, our publisher.
This positive initiative is dedicated to supporting our incredible carers by campaigning for superannuation payments for carers.
