New voice for Carers
"News and Media Releases - A New Voice For Carers" "A new organisation called the National Family Carers Voice has been established to provide the Government with advice on how we can better address family carer issues. Carers are the unsung heroes of Australian society. The effort, devotion and support that they provide cannot be praised enough. The National Family Carers Voice will gather information about the nature, location, and circumstances of family carers and will provide the Government with advice and options for addressing the longer term needs of these important individuals. Members of the National Family Carers Voice are carers who have personal experience and a personal commitment to providing care to children and adults with disabilities, and to those who are frail-aged. Their experience includes caring in Indigenous communities, rural and remote areas and a range of ethnic groups. Young carers will also be represented." (Source: Amanda Vanstone, Minister for Family & Community Services; http://www.facs.gov.au/internet/minfacs.nsf/home/index.htm) The Parkside Foundation's Service Manager for Individual Options, Belinda Smith, has been nominated and accepted as the Tasmanian representative in the 'National Family Carer's Voice' organisation.
