"An informal personal carer is someone who looks after a family member,
neighbour or friend in need of care due to disability, illness or age.
In Australia, there are approximately 2.8 million informal personal carers,
including 906,000 who are primary carers. Projections suggest the national
demand for carers will rise 23% by 2030.
Around one in ten Australians are informal carers: most of these unpaid. This
group of people support one of society’s most foundational needs and our
economy would struggle without them.
Yet, little is understood about their experiences. Our recent research reveals
how this group of carers lack necessary support for their own wellbeing."
