Millions of Reasons to Care: National Carers Week 2021 runs from 10 - 16 October. This is a time to recognise and celebrate Australia’s unpaid carers and all they do. Carers are an essential part of our health system.
They are the foundation of our aged, disability, mental health, palliative, and community care systems.
This year’s theme is ‘Millions of Reasons to Care’, which aims to bring attention to Carers around the country who provide outstanding care and support to family members and friends.
1-in-8 Australians provide unpaid care and support to family members or friends and make an enormous contribution to our community as well as our economy. National Carers Week
gives everyone a chance to show their appreciation and to raise community awareness amongst all Australians about the diversity of Carers and their caring roles.

October is Mental Health Month 💚🧡💙
Almost 50% of Australians are likely to be diagnosed with a mental illness in their lifetime, leaving 50% of us knowing someone living with or having experienced a mental health issue.
Mental Health is something every person has, and can face challenges with - not just those living with a mental illness. Especially at this time with COVID-19 we are living through a challenging time.
Mental Health Month is an opportunity to have conversations with your friends, family and community. It is a time to learn about self-care, community wellbeing and available support services.
This is the start of Mental Health Month with Mental Health day on the 10th of October. The theme for this year is 'We all have a role to play' which speaks to us all collectively being a part of raising mental health awareness, supporting each other, addressing stigma, and promoting wellbeing.
Over this month we will share some posts put together by the Mental Health Coalition of South Australia to remind us what roles we are all playing.
