Organisations and service providers

Two women are sitting at a table in a brightly lit office. One, wearing a denim shirt and glasses, smiles and clasps her hands. The other, with short gray hair, faces her and listens attentively. A whiteboard is visible in the background.

Carers Victoria sector impact
for organisations and service providers

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. 

Our goals

  • increase awareness of the carer experience 
  • increase knowledge of services that improve outcomes for carers, their families and networks 
  • support connection to carers 
  • strengthen the ability of service providers to engage and support carers accessing their services. 

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’.

This carer supports and benefits region guide is for people working directly in carer support services or indirectly with carers, i.e. through their work with clients in the health, disability, aged, mental health or education sectors. This resource is intended to help workers connect carers effectively to services and benefits that support them in their caring role.

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.
