The Carer Wellbeing survey is now open
Carers Australia has partnered with the University of Canberra to conduct a national survey into the wellbeing of carers and their support services.
We want to hear about your experiences of being a carer and accessing services. This will help us understand how life has changed for carers completing the survey over time so we can improve our services and shape a stronger future for carers.
The survey close date has been extended to allow those impacted by Cyclone Alfred to participate. The survey now closes on 30 April 2025. You can complete the survey online
You can also request a paper copy of the survey from the University of Canberra by calling 1800 981 499.
