Working in partnership, we build the capacity of any organisation to improve outcomes for carers by becoming more carer aware and to embed carer-friendly practices.
We do this by providing learning and development opportunities and events.
Carers Victoria provides regular professional development for organisations and staff to understand the needs of carers, both as staff and clients.
To register for one of our free sessions, please follow the link to our calendar and select ‘Becoming Carer Aware’.
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.
Please consider the e-learning and the self-assessment process for your organisation.
Connecting professionals and organisations working with, and providing support to unpaid carers with information, tools and research.
