Want to be an employer of choice? Become a Carer Friendly Employer!

In Australia, 70% of working age carers are employed and are combining paid work with caring for someone. If you want to be an employer of choice, it is important to be able to acknowledge carers in your workplace and know what resources are available.

Our team will guide your organisation in defining the best practice standards for supporting your staff with their caring responsibilities, and help you become an ‘Accredited Carer Employer’, through our information session.

What will the information session include?

• Definition of an unpaid carer and background on Carers WA, delivered by our Community Engagement team.
• An experiential learning activity, ‘Through the Maze’, to increase awareness of the issues, experiences, and needs of people with disability and unpaid carers through the maze of service providers, allied health professionals, their families, and community.
• A complimentary light lunch and networking opportunity.
• Carer Friendly Employer presentation covering how organisations can support carers in the workplace and become an Accredited Carer Friendly Employer.
