Carers VIC
Carers Victoria is the statewide voice for family carers. They represent and support caring families by working directly with them and collaborating with government, businesses and other community organisations to improve services.
Carers Victoria is the statewide voice for family carers, representing and providing support to carers in Victoria.
Our high-level connections with government and community leaders positions Carers Victoria to successfully represent and advocate on behalf of carers.
As members of the National Network of Carers Associations Policy Working Group, our team is a lead contributor to Federal and State government submissions and consultations on key issues for carers. National advocacy programs, events, and government liaison drives change to improve the lives of carers across Victoria and Australia and represents the interests of Victorian carers to decision makers.
The four key focus areas of advocacy for carers are:
Recognition and value
Health and wellbeing
Education
Financial security
Carers Victoria’s advocacy work informs the development of many resources and strategies, in collaboration with government initiatives and programs available to carers. Carers Victoria is a channel and reference point for access and support. We aim to simplify the complexities emerging as a result of the systemic changes with the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the introduction of consumer-directed aged care.
