The sincerity of a carer is that they feel that whomever they are looking after is worthy of unconditional care and support.
Carers are generally people who provide unpaid care and support for their family members and friends who have a disability or severe illness or maybe frail due to age.
They are the backbone of our disability, aged, palliative and community care responsibilities.
Many hours will go unchecked and yet Carers continue to be selfless and nurturing.
According to: ‘Carers Australia’ statistics:
- There are over 2.65 million carers across Australia.
- Carers make up nearly 11% of Australia’s population.
- Around 861,000 carers are primary carers, those who provide the most informal support to a family member or friend.
- The weekly median income of primary carers aged 15 - 64 is $800 compared to non-carers, who receive a median weekly income of $997.
- 7 out of 10 primary carers are women.
- The average age of a primary carer is 54.
- 1 in 11 carers are under the age of 25.
- One-third of primary carers provide 40 hours or more of unpaid care per week.
- More than half of primary carers provide care for at least 20 hours per week.
- Over one-third of primary carers have a disability (twice the rate of non-carers).
