Carers Can’t Quit. Let’s give them a better deal.
Carers provide unpaid support to family members and friends, often at great personal cost. Many face financial hardship, difficulty staying in the workforce, and little recognition in the health care and education systems. This election, we need real commitments from political leaders to make sure carers are seen, valued, and supported.

Supporting carers in the 2025 Federal Election
Carers give so much, but who is supporting them?
Carers Can’t Quit. Let’s give them a better deal.
Carers put their lives on hold to look after family and friends often at the cost of their own financial security, health, and future. This federal election, we need real commitments to ensure carers can care for family and friends with dignity and security.
Carers Australia is calling for:
- Better financial support so carers don’t have to choose between essentials
- Fairer workplaces so carers can balance work and care
- Early recognition in healthcare so carers get the support they need
I support a #CarersCan’tQuit! Let’s make sure carers are a priority this election.

Helping carers in a cost-of living crisis
Carers give so much, but who is supporting them?
Carers Can’t Quit. Let’s give them a better deal.
The cost of living is rising, but for many carers, earning more isn’t an option. Full-time care responsibilities mean they can’t just pick up extra shifts or a second job.
This election, we need:
- A 15% increase to the Carer Allowance
- A one-off $300 boost to the Carer Supplement
No carer should struggle to afford the basics. I support a #Carerscantquit#FairGoForCarers—do you?
