Better support for Carers
Source: Liberal Party of Australia. Media Release
"I am pleased to announce important measures to assist the thousands of Australians who provide care for older people and people with disabilities. The Coalition recognises that carers shoulder a heavy burden, both financially and emotionally, in their caring role and the care that they provide means that older Australians and those with disabilities can remain in their homes and in their community. We also recognise that carers need a break with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that the person they care for is being looked after by qualified and skilled staff in either their own home or a respite centre.
