Dedicated and highly skilled staff are our greatest asset in our mission to make carers’ lives better. We aim to create a flexible, supportive and enjoyable work environment, and we invest in our staff so they can realise their full potential and make a unique contribution to our cause.

What we do

Carers Victoria is a for-purpose organisation working to make sure that the almost 1 million unpaid carers across the state are understood, recognised and supported as while it is an important role, it can also be a challenging one.  

To progress our vision of a future in which all unpaid carers are recognised, valued and supported, we:

  • provide them with free with advice and information to help them in their role
  • connect them to respite activities that allow them to take a break and recharge;
  • deliver events and education for carers and carer-interested organisations
  • collect, analyse and release information about carers so their role and their needs are better understood. 

These contribute to our purpose of advancing understanding of Victoria’s unpaid carers and improving their access to assistance – whoever they are, wherever they live, and whomever may be in their care relationship/s. Every Victorian will know, need and/or be an unpaid carer at some point in their lives so the potential reach of our work is significant.

Carers Victoria also prides itself on being an enthusiastic, inclusive, and fun workplace. The people who work with us tell us that they value our warm and welcoming work environment, our high level of flexibility and that the work we do makes a real difference. Our values speak to who we are and what matters to us:

  • Committed to carers and caring
  • Able to build and strengthen the community
  • Respectful and united in our differences
  • Empower curious and creative pioneers
  • Responsible for our actions, we celebrate success, learn from the rest
