At Carers Victoria, we are really proud of the talented group of staff who work for us.

Our team at Carers Victoria comprises a diverse mix of experts who are genuinely committed to ensuring that carers are recognised, included and get the assistance and support they need, when they need it. With over 75% of our staff having lived or living experience of caring, they combine their areas of professional expertise with that deep knowledge of what it’s like to be a carer.

Some 40% of our staff are multilingual, with an age profile that spans everything from Gen Z to the Baby Boomers. An organisation that has held Rainbow Tick accreditation for some years, we are proud to have staff from different parts of the LGBTIQA+ community.

Our staff tell us that they value the organisation’s warm and inclusive culture, and its focus on making a positive difference in the lives of Victorians carers.

It is estimated that unpaid carers contribute the equivalent of $77.9 billion in value to the Australian economy, based on the cost of ‘buying’ an equivalent amount of care from the formal sector if the informal care were not supplied.

This comes at a cost to carers. Our partners play a critical role in supporting our work to improve access to assistance and in advancing the understanding of Victoria’s unpaid carers.

The current Carers Victoria 2025-2027 strategy sets the framework for work Carers Victoria will do to assist and empower Victoria’s carers – whoever they are, wherever they live, whomever they care for or wherever they are in their caring journey.  

It is arranged around four strategic pillars of influence, innovation, intelligence and independence.  

Actively seeking the views of a diverse mix of carers, the strategy recognises the important role Carers Victoria plays in lifting and amplifying the voices of carers so that all parts of the community understand what they do, why it’s important – and actively support them.  

The Strategic Plan also recognises the importance of growing  evidence base around carers and what’s important to them, and responding to the big issues facing carers –  

• the complexity of understanding and accessing funded services and assistance; 
• the challenges in accessing funded support as a carer – particularly if you live outside metropolitan areas, or come from diverse communities;  
• the financial impacts of taking on a caring role;  
• the negative impacts that caring has on so many carers’ health and wellbeing; and  
• the need to recognise and include carers and their voices.
