- Summary:
-
This report presents findings and recommendations of an inquiry into how the Australian Government can best help unpaid carers. The inquiry investigated the challenges facing carers, such as barriers to social and economic participation and increased risk of financial and health stress, and what current support services are available. Many carers reported a lack of recognition of their role, as well as difficulty in accessing services and information. In response, the inquiry recommends new practical measures of support and strategic policy reform. These include reforms to existing social welfare services and campaigns for community education and vocational training.
