The Invisible Workforce

Every day, Australian families provide trillions of hours of essential care. This includes clinical support, medication management, and behavioral aid that keeps our public health system afloat.

Despite saving the economy billions, this vital contribution remains classified as "duty" rather than "work."

Because this labor is unrecognized, carers miss out on basic financial security, including Superannuation and the Minimum Wage.

It is time to value care. We are asking for formal recognition of skills and a fair safety net for those who give their lives to others.
