The CareSide

Unpaid caregivers in Australia are burnt out. We surveyed more than 700 carers across the country, and 94% of them reported feeling physically or mentally exhausted due to their caregiving responsibilities. The data from our report provides a small glimpse into the world of unpaid caregiving, but it also makes this question feel more imperative than ever: Who's caring for our carers?

🔴 The not-so-good news: Many carers in Australia don’t address their own care needs until they’re facing health crises themselves. ✅ The good news: There are many resources and support services in place to help Australians who’ve taken on caring roles. We created a list of support groups for carers, including in-person and online offerings focused on caregiving for dementia, cancer and other conditions. https://lnkd.in/gCEWjmwb #agedcare #agedcareaustralia #homecare #homecareaustralia #healthcareaustralia #caregiving #caregiversupport #unpaidcarers #caregiverstress #caregiverburnout
