Australia has over 2.7 million unpaid carers, which accounts for 12% of the population. Actually 15% of the Moonee Valley population – we have more than 14,600 unpaid carers (Census 2021).

Carers are people who provide unpaid emotional, social and/or financial support to family members and friends who have a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness or who are frail due to age.
