National Carers Week, dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating carers in Australia, will be held from Sunday 12 to Saturday 18 October 2025. National Carers Week is about recognising and celebrating the outstanding contribution unpaid carers make to our nation. There are over 2.65 million unpaid carers in Australia providing care and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, mental illness, alcohol or drug dependency, long term health condition or who is frail due to age. Anyone at any time can become a carer. National Carers Week is an opportunity to educate and raise awareness among all Australians about the diversity of carers and their caring roles.
Here at St Edmund’s, we acknowledge and give thanks for all of you who undertake this role each and every day, so as to provide for our young people a life full of care, compassion, dignity, hope and love. We give thanks for the gift that you are to your children, and the way you inspire them to live a life full of meaning and purpose.
