"Vital recognition for carers in the workplace"
“Australia’s ageing population, cost of living pressures, and evolving lifestyles are reshaping the landscape of caregiving. Just as workplaces have adapted to accommodate parents caring for children, it is crucial that we acknowledge the unique challenges faced by carers and provide them with the support needed to thrive in their careers.”
