It is estimated that one in nine employees are carers to a family member or friend. This responsibility may mean carers need some modification or flexibility in their roles.
The Federal Government, through Carers Australia, has released an excellent initiative that provides some highly useful resources for employers.

The Carer-Inclusive Workplace initiative emerged as a result of recommendations from the Australian Government’s Jobs and Skills Summit with the aim to promote equal opportunities and reduce barriers to employment.
